A Wise Counter Clock

TAPE TIMER


There's no need to hunch over and squint at the counter clockwise dials of an old-fashioned timer. Just pull up the measuring tape - marked with minute lines up to 60 - and watch it descend back into the timer, ringing as it reaches its destination. You can see from afar how many minutes are left with the length of the tape, and get an exact idea up close with the precise measurements of this aluminum accent. Imported. No batteries required.

Comments about TAPE TIMER:

I liked this clever and attractive timer so much that I purchased two -- one for my kitchen and the other for my place of work. It sounds very much like an old, analogue clock (complete with metronome-like ticking and a tinny alarm ring), but those are the only clocks I know that keep you on the straight and narrow.

Comments about TAPE TIMER:

The deco look of the timer and it's easy use make it a great buy. I love how you can get a sense of how much time is left from across the room just by glancing over. It has a cute, trendy look ... people notice it on my counter and play with it. I have purchased this as a gift on several occasions, in addition to having one myself.

Works great!

Attractive Design
Cons:
Loud Shrill Noise
Best Uses:
Daily Use
Describe Yourself:
Practical
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about TAPE TIMER:

The timer works great and is attractive looking. It makes a loud shrill noise when it goes off. I use it to get my five year old daughter to stop procrastinating. I put the timer on and she hates the noise so much she finishes what I ask her to do before the timer rings.

Hip and functional
By LaurenVerified Buyer from Arlington, VA on 5/21/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Easy To Clean, Fulfills its promises
Best Uses:
Daily Use
Describe Yourself:
Frequent Entertainer, Stylish
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about TAPE TIMER:

This is great! Not only is it tres hip but it's also super loud so there's no way you'll miss the beep. It's easy to use, too- there are special instructions in the box so you won't break it (you have to pull the tape all the way up and then tick it down to the desired time- easy-peasy.) Much better than any other timer I've used, and no batteries are required.
