60-Minute Sand Timer with Rope - Perfect for Classroom, Games, and Productivity Time Management

I have a few of these and they all continue to work well. I can count on them, which I can't do with some others I've tried. I've decided to keep the rope on one or 2 as then I can easily take them places in the house & hang them on something while I am in that location. I won't wear them as the magnet I have been told is not good close to the body. I have found the rope/hanging feature super helpful. Even so, if I don't want to hang it, the design makes it so I can easily lay it down on anything, no need to balance it as other types of timers would require. Another good feature.These have a very sturdy feel to them and I do not have to wind the dial all the way around to set time, which is handy. Also, if I want 15 minutes but change my mind to 12 or 17, the timer kicks in and times everything just fine, it can be moved forward/back and it ticks away as needed. This is not often found in other timers. I recently tried 2 of the Mechanical Kitchen Timer Loud Alarm and at first they felt great but then didn't work well consistently their failure rate grew within the month I had them. This timer on a rope I found works much better overall and I'm quite pleased with them.I must time so many things, I keep multiple timers for nearly constant use. This timer is the winner above all others I've used. They even withstand being dropped.
