They suck nuts.

Either that or I haven't figured out how to use mine...

How so? bad readings or what? All you have to do is screw it into the plug hole and pull the engine over a few times.

Those also don't work on small engines with compression releases. I've bought one and never used it. :arf:

Somebody isn't following the rules.

If its a flathead with de-comp you rotate 2-6* past TDC.

Just crank engine backwards. Requires using a starter cup in place of recoil.
