Small Engine Tachometer

[Ope_Freak]

Any recommendations? My primary interest is accuracy and ability to change battery. Looking for more a shop model vs one to attach to the engine. I bought a cheap hour/RPM meter, but its very inaccruate, at least 200-500RPM off.

I've heard good things about the OPPAMA/ECHO PET 1100 series units, but they are expensive >$130 and very hard to find online.

At the Tiny Tach mfg. page (DTI -Design Technology, Inc.) also check out "other tachs".

I have the DTI 110 (also known as DTI 20K) at work and it seems to work well. It also gets good reviews at pro sites like lawnsite.com and arboristsite.com.

Another vote for tiny tach. Put one on our riding mower, works great and was reasonably priced.

I have one of these, reads off the plug wire and is non-contact, just hold it near the wire and it gives you engine speed. Can be setup to read properly for spark on every rev or every other and is pretty accurate.

Why would you want to pay $30 plus more, for basically the same thing?.,,
