 Brunton Rattle Compass September 19, 2007
Mark Lough (Onekama MI)
I wanted a reliable easy to read compass on the dash of my car. Naturally, I visited Amazon to see just about every compass known. This one, Rally by Brunton, looked like just what I wanted. When it arrived I was pleased with its looks and read the installation material and installed it, adjusted it (easy!) and took it on a test drive. I had located it in a very easy to see location and was pleased that it showed me which way I was headed at all times. Perfect. Except for the rattle.
So, I returned home and removed it from its easy-to-use snap-in cradle, and took it apart. Not hard. Inside are two threaded keepers that might rattle if the adjustment screws were loose. The LED for illumination has two leads that hang outside the unit and since I have no desire to find a way to get juice to its location, I removed the LED (easy) because it just rests in an empty space inside the compass housing and rattles. Still, my compass rattles.
Something inside the sealed liquid chamber where the rotating compass indicator floats, well, rattles. It is not possible to get inside this sealed chamber.
So if you want a very easy to read, accurate, and handsome compass for your car, this is it. If rattles bother you, look for something else.
