Multi Function Digital Counter Kit

[spud1950]

I'm thinking about getting one of these for my winder build. I thought I'd post it for others looking for a reasonably priced counter. The price is $17.99,you put it together,or add another $14.99 to get it already assembled. Anyway,seems like a good deal either way. Any opinions from the pros would be appreciated.

Hey Spud, just my opinion and there will be others, but I'd go with something like this:

It has the same functions, is already assembled and has form C relays. Which means you can set it to a certain amount of winds and it can cut the motor power at that point by opening a relay. Hunt on eBay, they can be had cheaper or with more or less options for about the same price as the kit you showed.
