Hand held tach

[John S]

Need to get one to help tuning my chainsaws. Which one do most folks prefer these days? Will use it on some older saws as well as new ones like Stihl 461.

I have an oppama that works great

I have a laser one I got off ebay for about $10 which works well. You just stick a little piece of reflect tape to the rotating assemebly. Flywheel, shaft, etc.
