I'm looking for a countdown /rundown timer

I'm looking for a one shot countdown timer adaptor plug for a couple of applications.
One would set the duration, plug in an appliance and it switches off after the preset time.
I need one which can be set for a rundown duration of up to 12 hours.

After an exhaustive search I only found the following

Energenie

Fixed 30 minute rundown, so insufficient.

Masterplug Countdown Mains Socket
Masterplug.com appears to be down just now so no link.
5-50 minute rundown, so insufficient.

Anyone aware of such a device on the market?

It must be a one shot device so a 24hr or 7 day programmer won't do.

Standard mechanial clock timer will do what you need. I presume you will
switch it on yourself then just need it to turn itself off?

I have several of them, Cheap £1 shop ones and £3.99 ones from ASDA.

Just set the switchoff time and dont set any switch on times.

Thanks.
I have a couple of old Smiths type timers with pins. I keep losing the pins though.

LOL yeah i have a couple of those grey & white pins, These new ones have fixed segments
you click up & down to set the start & end points.

Should do what you need though.
