Reliable Electric Timers... does it exist?? HELP!

My plant is still veggin at the moment but my electric timer is playing up once again!!

this is the third timer ive bought that has stopped working. When I say stopped working i mean they stop keeping the correct time and often dont switch on or off.

For now its not so much of a problem because my plant is still vegging, but when I switch to flowering (which should be in a couple of weeks) it could be detrimental to my baby

can anyone recommend a decent timer that wont fuck up and has anyone else had this problem with their electric timers??

I've got a wicked kick ass timer from years gone by. It was made by an electrician and it's a timer off an immersion heater. It's concealed nicely in a water tight box and it's got two double plug sockets comming off it. The actual timer looks like a dial with some little brass nipples on the outer edge. If I remember correctly it has controlled sucsessfully 4000 watts. So with this device there is no need for a seperate contact. I'm sure if you can afford to pay there are some reliable commercial contact timers out there, but if you know a competent electrician who you can trust I guess you will save cash.
