They're so inacurate it hurts. My parents one is so bad that you have to put it to 5 minutes before it'll do anything, manually count 2 minutes, then stop it.

- jedimastert 6y agoMost mechanical timers are like that, like kitchen timers too. They need a certain amount of force to get over the static friction of starting the device. Instructions will generally tell you to wind past a certain point (in your case, probably 5 minutes) and then wind back to your preferred time.
