Tally Counter, Professional Grade Stainless Steel H-102 Clicker Counter - Japanese Made 4-Digit Handheld Counter Clicker, Lap Counter, Pitch Counter Clicker, Multi-Use People Counter

So I’m getting older and if I need to count something I sort of forget how many there are, so in comes this handy tally counter. I had one that was made of plastic and made in China, which was awful. It lasted about 2 months before the counter started to not work. But what do you expect when it costs $1.75, I guess I could have bought another two or three, but just the thought of the waste going into the landfill was guilting me to not buy it. So this is where I got this one, and so far it has been 3 months, and it works perfectly.It fits nicely in the hand, has a very smooth clicking motion, and it fun to just play with. Clearing or resetting it is super fun to watch the numbers change over. It is so much more quieter than the plastic one, and even if I drop it, it still works. There is a nice and sturdy finger loop to make sure you don’t drop it.

Well made. It’s a high quality item made in Japan. Smooth functionality. Perfect size that fits well in hand.

Quality from another era. No play if you shake it. No sharp edges. Polished stainless steel case. The finger loop, the push button and something inside the case sticks to magnets, but the reset knob does not. The finish on the two screws and the knurled reset knob is perfect.I've only had it for a few days and 1000 clicks, but it feels solid and you can hear every click. No grinding. No hesitation. The numbers seem embossed then painted. The domed magnifier is recessed so it won't get scratched so easily. The reset to zero gives good feedback and there is no play in the knob.I just fired off 25 clicks in 6.11 seconds. The return spring is perfect.It's not waterproof, but it looks like you could open it up to clean and lubricate it if necessary.

I work in QC and this is the best hand counter I've found. It is relatively cheap and much better than similar looking plastic cased or even steel cased "made in china" counters. It is possible to get a miscount when counting very fast because the travel of the thumb switch is long, like the cheap counters. It basically is a cheap counter with a nicely polished case and much higher quality internals, but is of the same design of the cheap ones.

Great quality. Much better than generic chinese counter-parts. A good alternative for my prayer rope. I guess, it will last years before broken.

Strong and durable

Exceptional product.

My application for this tally counter is all about aesthetics--I wanted one that is a bit heavy in the hand, feels well machined like the dash controls in a nice car (somehow Honda manages to get this right), and has a satisfying audible click.I picked this one based on other reviews and I am really happy with it. It feels like it will last forever and feels like a tool and not a toy.
