Hey Guys,
Does anyone here use one of the outlet timers that you put in the outlet and
then plug your appliance in to so you can use a timer to either turn it on or
off? I remember my grandmother having them when I was a kid, but I do not
remember enough about the details to know if a blind
Aloha Jennifer,
I bet your son could set these things. I don't
know much about the accessibility of any of them,
but I think once they're set, they stay that way.

Jennifer, all the such timers I've seen all have a dial you set for 2 hours,
4 hours, 6 hours etc. You then set when you want the timer to switch on
such as in 2 hours, 4 hours, etc. Then there is another button for when you
want it to switch off. Again the same kind of thing. 8 hours, 10
The last ones I got from Harbor Freight a couple of years ago have 96 slide
pins around the outer edge of the dial, one for each 15 minutes of the day.

stores, they are often called lamp timers
If it says digital forget it, these are old fashioned motors and gears.
and switches,
Once you have pressed a selector in to set a time, running the dial round
it's travel you
Jeniffer, there are several types of these, some more accessible than
others. Tom's right that what Toni's talking about is pretty easy to set
without eyesight. I have a couple that require you to insert pins in the
dial that trip the switch as they pass. Mine click 144 times in a 24 hour

OK gang, with a little imagination and ingenuity almost any outlet timer will
be accessible.
Now, it may not be that you can plug in the timer and set the accurate time and
then set the on/off times. But really, what does it matter if you have the
timer set to read 4 in the morning when it's
