NSi Industries TORK RTN112 Indoor 15-Amp Plug-in Mechanical Appliance Timer 24-Hour Programming – GREEN & RED Trippers TWO Receptacles White

The Tork RTN 112 timer is very similar to the old Intermatic timers I used to have that finally quit working. Setting the time is quick and intuitive. I also purchased the Tork RTN 312 timer thinking it might be better to have a grounded plug for my multiple strands of Christmas lights plugging into one timer. Both seem to keep great time. The Tork timers were at a more reasonable price point than the comparable Intermatic timers so that's what sold me.

Love these timers. So much easier to use than the programmable timers out there. Just move the little pegs and you're done.

Works perfectly!

Surprising quiet. No ticking sound. Would buy again.

I need to checj the brand name on the timer like this that has worked daily for over 41 years. One of these died in 5 months and the other never functioned which I did not realize until I went to replace the one othat died. I have tried many timers. This style is the only one I like.

Very easy to set up and works great. Easy to bypass also, when needed.

Once again, wishful thinking got the best of me and I bought this torqued RTN312 timer. Wishful thinking because many reviews listed problems, but most didn't. I bought it, I regret it. I used it, it failed just outside of return/refund window.What a waste of time. And money. And now, I'm forced to leave a review to warn off other gullible souls to STAY AWAY from this timer.If you require more info why this product is a crap-shoot, please read on...OPERATION: This mechanical timer operates by positioning the red/green timer pins to turn on/off power. The "on" pin trips a tooth in the timer to power up; the "off" pin trips a different tooth to power down. The "tooth" mechanism that is tripped by the pins seems to have four cycles in its rotation, which only matters if there's a problem inside the gearing.PROBLEM: On my unit, in one of the four "turn on" cycles in the "tooth" mechanism, the internal gearing was stiff or broken. As a result, 25% of the time, the timer DIDN'T TURN ON. It seemed to kinda work fine at the beginning, but it's hard to say because I sometimes unintentionally manually overrode the on/off tooth wheel. When I finally got fed up that my chicken coop door wasn't opening or closing on time, I sat down and figured out that there is a problem with the gearing. BUT IT WAS TOO LATE TO RETURN FOR REFUND!DISGUSTED, PESSIMISTIC OVERALL OBSERVATION: I mean, why bother to get up and go to work if the product you design or manufacture is just plain junk? Instead, skip the whole marketing, selling, and shipping process and simply throw it right into the trash. That's the "Green" way to go, or at least the Amazon-endorsed business model.

These are so easy to set up. I had it working in about 5 minutes. I bought another one!!
