best tach

[Oldtoolsnewproblems]

i work on a lot of engines as a hobby, and I have about 11 car tachs and 2 2stroke tachs with pickup wires. one is fiddly to not lose the wire, the other has areal slow refresh rate that makes it annoyig to use. Who makes a good tach, say ~50$, and who makes the BEST tach for chainsaws? money no object/prograde etc. I think I'm gonna buy myself a present.

Hi I use a DTI TECH-TACH TT20K it is fast and accurate and picks up well without useing the wires (it comes with wires if you need them).The only down side is it is a little bigger than most of them.

I have a Fast Tach that I have used for years (just replaced the battery). I bought a Hardline Products Tach off Amazon for $28 that worked just as good as my $80 Fast Tach. It had the wire with it, but worked just as well without attaching the wire to the plug. You do not need an expensive one. I have read reports that even the really cheap ones off Ebay work well.

I too just bought a DTI TT20K, really impressed by it, all the positive reviews are accurate and reflective of its capability. One reason I bought it because it will reliably get to 20,000rpm...I have a 242xpg and need to get readings at its 15,500 redline. Additionally I like it too because you can change the battery (9v). Yeah it's definitely pricey....but most quality things are.

I have the DTI TECH-TACH TT20K as well and will say the same as all the other reviews on it, that it is great however normally pricey. I got lucky and found one in like new condition off flea-bay for about $50.

Read before buying anything. You want .5 refresh. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum.com/stickys-of-how-to-basics/chainsaw-tachometer-choices/

I like this brand myself. Oppama https://www.oppama.co.jp/tachometer-eng

Mine work fine most of the time, but I don't like having to take the cover off to wrap the wire when I went to double check the speed in the cut. I don't want to melt my wire while playing around. For tuning on the ground any teach seems to work, but I'll look at those wireless ones. I think that's what I want

Oppama pet 2100 made in Japan.

.5 second refresh rate and is accurate to within +/- 10rpm. It reads rpm on wasted spark engines, 2-stroke 1 to 4 cylinders, 4-stroke 1 to 6 and 8 cylinders.
It’s Water-resistant, reads 100-30,000rpm

it‘s not cheap though at somewhere around 300 Australian dollars, but it will outlast me.

funny, my next rebuild will probably be a 041 farmboss cookies, so thats appropriate. now for that saw a pickup wire is nbd, but I'm still gonna go for one of the 'wireless' ones to fit my husqvarnas eaisier.

Looking to buy an accurate but reasonable tach as my hearing is no longer dependable for tuning.
Does anyone have experience with the Archer A523051?
Would appreciate any & all input.
Thanks.
