The consensus
What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
Across mainstream reviewers and verified-purchase data, the Innova 3568 reads as the value-leaning sibling of the 5568 Pro. The Amazon listing in the signals highlights the 0-90 degree direct-read advance and broad ignition-system compatibility, while summitracing.com customer reviews call out the push-button advance control, adequate brightness, and long enough cords for typical engine bays. Several YouTube reviewers in the data echo those impressions and note it's a noticeable step up from a basic inductive light without crossing into pro-tool pricing.
What reviewers liked
- Roughly 2,430 verified-purchase Amazon ratings at 4.5 stars
- summitracing.com customer reviews specifically praise the push-button advance and bright strobe
- Significantly cheaper than the 5568 Pro while keeping the digital-advance feature set
Where it falls short
- Older industrial design is bulkier than newer slim-barrel digital lights
- Some forum discussion (corvetteforum.com) flags variability in the digital-tach behavior
- Like all distributor-era tools, it's useless on modern coil-on-plug engines

A corvetteforum.com thread in the candidate signals digs into the digital-tach behavior specifically, which reviewers find useful but occasionally inconsistent across model revisions. The Reddit signals here are thin and mostly tangential (one r/PDXBuyNothing listing), so the verdict leans on retailer-customer and mainstream YouTube coverage. The trade-off versus the 5568 Pro is mostly ergonomics and barrel design rather than core functionality.
For buyers who want digital advance and RPM without paying flagship money, this is the option the consensus keeps returning to.
- Top-of-the line timing light with direct reading advance scale adjusts from 0-90 degrees
- Works with most ignition systems
- conventional, electronic and computer controlled systems - domestic and import
- Digital tachometer ranges from 249 to 9,990 RPM including Patented Skip Circuitry Test up to 9,990 RPM
- Split-screen digital LCD readout displays tachometer and advance functions
- Slim, rotating barrel for better aim at timing mark
Cleaning out my tool chest and realized I don't need this anymore! It's pretty great for setting particular timings on your engine.
Outraged at the price of a basic digital timing light at Orilley, I went to HF and ended up with a comparable one that was actually $10 more.
