Hand held clicker counters are all the same, right? While they may all look about the same, the truth is these handy little tools are built by host of Chinese, Japanese and Korean manufacturers with different materials and to different quality standards. That makes it very easy to end up with a clicker that you'll be replacing almost as soon as it arrives.

So what's the best brand? What should you expect to pay for a good quality clicker? 

Your options range from the top of the line clicker counter, the H-102 Professional Model Japanese Clicker Counter (a stainless steel model that can be operated under water, will never rust, and will basically never break), to the ultra-cheap GOGO clicker sold on Amazon, which is very unlikely to last past a couple hundred "clicks."

We've sold and tested thousands of tally counters in just about every size, shape and style over the last 15 years. Here are our current "economy" favorites (high quality at lowest possible price) based on our own experience using them, and the feedback of our customers:
