Electronic Tally Counter, Handheld Number Clicker with Lanyard, 4-Digital

PROS: Works great to count up and down. CONS: If set aside, it stays on. Not sure if it ever turns itself off. Put a piece of tape on the back to quiet the noise.

I got this as a life counter for card games. I removed the strap and disconnected the sound wires. Now I can easily keep track of my health during card battles. It's perfect.

Bought for my store to help keep social distancing. I use them every day and they only lasted a week. Then they start to glitch and I lose count of customers. Sometimes it jumps up numbers and says I have more customers than there really is. If it didn’t glitch, it would work perfectly. Easy to use and convenient size.

Mine worked great for about 4 weeks of daily use at work, then it started glitching out. Even after changing the battery, some button presses cause the display to freak out - it flashes 8888 a few times, then resets back to zero, losing your progress. Cheap is as cheap does. Stick with mechanical ones - you won't lose count that way, even if it jams up.

Easy to use and grip on to, but the only reason I gave one less star is because the battery tends not hold in place resulting in warped or softer beeps when you’re counting.

I always carry it in my pants pocket, so naturally it ended up going through the wash. When I found it in the bottom of the washer I was sure it was ruined. But I opened it up and cleaned it out with electrical contact cleaner and an air duster and it worked fine, except that the beeper sounded a little anemic. While I had it open I removed the lanyard that I never used and put in a couple pieces of thin styrofoam under the buttons to make them harder to press accidentally. Another improvement I made was to put a drop of superglue on the middle of the + button so I can tell by feel which one I'm pressing.

Works easily and accurately

Item worked for about of month of my security job counting people. Then started resetting on its own and deleting my count. Not worth your money.
