Champion Sports TC Tally Counter, Price/ea

I purchased this item to use as a row counter for crocheting projects. It's very sturdy, and works really well to serve its purpose.

I purchased this tally counter to keep track of laps when I run on a small indoor track. I've been using for a couple of months and it's been working exactly as it should.

Those little knitting counters don't go high enough, they break and I lose them in my bag when I'm using double points. I HIGHLY recommend having one. It's SO easy to just click at the end of the row and not need both hands to turn the dial on conventinal craft counters.Get one. It's the BEST craft tool investment I've made this year.

For five dollars you get a mechanical tally counter shipped to your door via Prime - can't go wrong with that. It's made of a very thin "chromy" metal plating, that I'd say is rust-resistant but not rust-free, and the sheen and shine wear off very quickly.I'm using this to count laps at the pool and if it were made of regular steel, it'd be completely rusted by now. Instead, anywhere that has the slightest scratch rusts, but it doesn't spread, at least. It's very light, and feels flimsy, but it works well and the tactile feedback is great: there's never any doubt as to whether or not a click has registered, which is excellent when your goggles have fogged up and you're in a hurry to go on to the next lap.I paid $5 for this with shipping (Prime FTW), and at that price, it was a bargain. It's not an amazing product, regardless if you're using this for the pool, for the store, or for the track, I'd say get it if the price is right, otherwise give it a pass and get something sturdier/better-made, or one of them new-fangled (and usually water-resistant) plastic electronic counters.

I bought this for my grandpa. He has certain exercises that he needs to do every day as part of his physical therapy, but he's not so great with counting or remembering how many he's done. He has to wait until someone else is in the room to count for him. I bought him this counter and he loves it. Now he can do his exercises without needing anyone else to sit and count for him.

I use it to keep track of laps when I'm swimming, and it does a simple job well. I leave it by the side of the pool and push to increment it whenever I complete a full lap. It's gotten wet plenty of times and I've never had any problems with it rusting up. A great choice for anyone who wants to count things easily, especially in conditions where a phone app wouldn't work.
