I find the cheap little hr meter/tach that uses a wire around the plug to work well. I bought 3 of them over 2 years ago and the batteries are still going. Water proof and accurate, tell you the hours on your saw. Not fancy, but they work.

I have one of this type and it seems to work well enough, covers all the basic requirements for my purposes.
$23, 20k rpm, .5 sec refresh, decent sized display, replaceable battery, works wired or wireless, water resistant, backlit display, ships from usa...

Tried a few of the really cheap $5-10 ones and was never happy with any of them. I've heard the Works Connection ones are ok...

The cordless ones are nice. The couple we have in the shop are Husqvarna labeled I believe. Were around $100.

I have a wire one on my log splitter. Works well, but it's designed to stay there, not really meant to keep switching between other OPE. (Uh, why is O P E a swear? It's a very common abbreviation for outdoor power equipnent. It is some crazy sex thing too??!)
