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.

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

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.

This tally counter is a step above some of its Chinese rivals. It has held up well keeping track of the number of passengers getting information assistance at the airport.

Exceptional product.

Purchased the taiwanese item as well. This japanese one is smaller, tighter, more luxurious, and for some reason, spurred me to write a review for it.

Strong and durable

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.
