AmerTac TM16DOLB Outdoor Daily Mechanical Stake Timer

I've been using five of these timers for the past eight years during the summer for our water fountains and our Christmas lights and only one of them finally prevented me from being able to rotate the timer to set the on and off times on the dial. They have survived up to four feet of snow during a blizzard and other snowfalls and heavy rains. The best part is that the covers keep the rain and snow from hitting the sockets and plugs you insert into them. I tried several others for two years and none of them lasted more than a few months including the GE digital timers. On the timers that quit working, I even covered the unused plug sockets with electrical tape to keep the rain and snow out of them, without luck. I think the TM16DOLB stake timers are the best on the market. In this day and age, anything that lasts eight years or more is a miracle.
