Tach & Hour meter for portable generator

Just purchased this little gadget & am very impressed. It has a backlit display, shows RPM when running, shows hours when not, & even has a menu select for service. If you want to service the genny, say every 100 hours of operation, it will flash "SVC" on the screen when that number is reached & re-set itself for the next cycle.

    Hi,

    Nice unit. Similar ones are available on Amazon.


    I saw those also, but this one has the "service" feature to it & also comes with a "replaceable" CR2032 battery. All others that I found, the battery was sealed & you could not replace it.

    Good find.

    I'd venture to say that may be the wholesaler that the Ebay seller is purchasing from.

    I just purchase mine about 10 days ago for $22.49. Appears the Ebay seller has increased the price since.
