Fast tach. Edge & Engine has them for $85 last I knew. Great little tach.

I'm glad you asked. That's one of the next tool purchases I have planned. I was going to ask for some opinions as well.

DTI Fast-Tach. About $100 with shipping - more than I wanted to spend, but the rpm display updates instantaneously. If it helps extend the life of a few engines, it's probably worth it, plus it's a cool gadget to have if you're into chainsaws!
Does the tach have to hook up to something on the saw or is it like a radar gun that just reads off the bar speed?

The Fast tach is wireless, just point towards the spark plug.

DTI Tech Tach (TT-20K)
Great tach. Easy battery change too.

WOW!!! This thing works great. $93.00 shipped and almost instantaneous reading. My dealer was impressed. Just get the tach within 8 inches of the top of the cover to get a reading.
I did call Design Technology, Inc. before ordering. They told me the this tach reads a little quicker (Under 1/2 second update time) than the Commercial Tiny Tach. It is not as small but still very convenient.

I also have the tech tach, it is wireless also, had it about two years, works great on everything I have. I like the max rpm button readout b/c it updates so fast you may not actually catch the max rpm with your eye.

Thats what I have. When it breaks I will have another. A bit bigger, but ive left it outside in the winter, dropped it and pretty much abused it and it still works fantastic, with a real fast refresh rate. Has a max RPM recall too. I love it.
I had my Stihl dealer order me an EDT-7. If memory serves I payed around $140 four years ago, but I live in Sweden so that's probably not a relevant price for you. It was actually really hard finding a suitable one at all, and after purchasing two cheaper ones that didn't do it's job I thought I get The Real McCoy and be done with it. I'm still happy with that decision.
