Easy to use !
I liked these because there was no digital aspect to them . You simply set the time you want to light to come on at using the little teeth . A bit fiddly but they work really well. For the money , they are a good buy .

Good product
These plugs have worked in the way that they should, it was handy to have a 3 pack and a good price. Slightly fiddly to set the timer device but using a toothpick made it easier.

OK for the price
OK for the price. Work fine, but a bit fiddly to set up, as the little segments are quite narrow.

Simply does the job.
Simply does the job. Once set up, this handy little device takes care of switching on and off what ever is plugged into it. So far, so good. No problems at all.

Hi Kay, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, all mechanical timers make at least some noise (although some significantly more than others) when in operation.
That said, the best way to verify it is working is to check what the indicated time is at 1/4 or 1/2 hour intervals when the dial should have moved around by the applicable amount.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Gibbo, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, the timers in this Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack all repeat their programmed on/off times every 24 hours for as long as they are plugged into a powered socket, so yes they will work for your two weeks holiday (and beyond if you leave them plugged in to a powered socket).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi SusieT, thank you for your enquiry.
You can set the segments first, down for the time you want the connected device powered and up for all other (off) times.
Two possibilities which spring to mind are a slow dial (i.e. had it actually rotated past 10pm when you checked) or some extra segments pushed down beyond the 10pm cut-off keeping the device active.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Steve, thank you for your enquiry.
Any segment pushed filly towards the back of the timer is an ON period (of 15 minutes) whilst any pulled up flush with the numbered dial is an OFF period, so you need to push down as many consecutive segments as the desired ON time.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello,
Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Time- 3 Pack:
The Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer does not reset every 24 hours; it allows for manual control of electrical appliances, enabling you to set schedules and manage power usage as needed.
I hope this has answered your question,
Thank you for using Argos Q&A
Hello Helen,
I can advise the following for the Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack:
Product Height (mm)
100
Product Width (mm)
59
This wouldn't be possible, you would need to leave a socket gap between them.
Thanks for using Q & A.
Hi di, thank you for your enquiry.
The timers are _not_ waterproof so would need to be situated somewhere that they wouldn't be exposed to rain or mist (as this could penetrate them and cause all kinds of problems).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Tinkerbell, thank you for your enquiry.
The segments are plastic and we haven't had any instances of breakage so far which would seem to prove they are sturdy enough for their purpose.
Ease of operation can vary from user opinion to user opinion, we feel that they are not too difficult but some would disagree, the size being the main point they make (i.e. they're fairly small so can be difficult to move individually for some people).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Patsy, thank you for your enquiry.
Our technical information for the TMS24 (our code for this timer) shows the dimensions to be:-
60mm wide (62mm including the slide switch on the right side)
100.5mm tall
38.1mm deep from the back to the front socket face (63.3mm including pins and the dial which is slightly proud of the front socket face)
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello there,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Masterplug 24 Hour Mechanical Segment Timer - 3 Pack: ''We have not tested this and cannot see what its purpose could be as the Gas can not be controlled by mains, the switching would be done by a control knob, You can not switch on gas and then use a timer to start as this would be dangerous.''
Thank you for using Q & A.
