Laser Tools is now offering a battery powered digital timer which has many uses around the workshop.

Technicians will often need to accurately measure the required shut-down period, as specified by the vehicle manufacturer. This may be for example the time between switching off the ignition and disconnecting or reconnecting the vehicle’s battery. This is particularly important where airbag, BSI (Body Systems Interface) or hybrid and electric vehicle ECUs need time to shut down before proceeding with further work.

This digital timer (part number 7477) is a compact and robust instrument that will count down from the set time in minutes and seconds. The technician presses the START / STOP key to start the timer and the alarm signal will sound or blink at the end of the countdown.  The alarm is user-selectable and can be audible, visual, or both. There is a memory recall last setting and a battery is included. The timer has a built in clip, fold-out stand and magnetic mount.

Laser say this is a useful tool for the professional technician who is now having to deal with hybrid and battery electric vehicles on a regular basis and also for petrol and diesel vehicles with their ever-increasing electronic systems and features. It is available now from your Laser Tools stockists.
