New Snap-on Ultra-Light Timing Light Does More Than Just Set Timing

December 5, 2011

The new Ultra-Light Timing Light (EETL500) from Snap-on is more than a device to set timing. It is a multipurpose tool capable of measuring engine RPM, checking battery voltage and measuring secondary firing voltages and burn times. The new timing device not only features a diamond plate underside and large backlight LCD screen, it also has a dual LED flashlight in the patented pivoting head.

“Our timing light is a new classic. The Snap-on EETL500 is perfect if you work on older muscle cars with distributors and has some late model applications as well. It has a nostalgic look with modern features and functions,” said David Brekke, category manager for Snap-on. “The durable ultra-light and ergonomic design allows technicians to work with comfort.”

The new Ultra-Light Timing Light (EETL500), not only provides measuring and timing functions, it also measures and displays kV readings, and performs ignition timing and systems tests. The uses of the EETL500 are highlighted in detail below:

Setting ignition timing - works on both 2 & 4 Cycle DIS and conventional engines and most aftermarket ignition systems without solid core wires

Measuring engine RPM, ignition advance and dwell - for all in one basic ignition system tester

Testing secondary ignition system - allows measurement of burn voltage and burn time

Checking battery voltage - provides a quick visual indication of the current state of the battery

Measuring and displaying kV readings - view individual cylinder firing voltage, perform snap throttle and coil stress tests

Diagnosing the following - isolates faulty ignition wires, plugs, modules and coils
