Tech Tach works great and I like the larger size.

Tech Tach TT-20K Digital Tachometer - [DTI 110] - $85.00

I have three or four Works connection tachs, I just have not used them yet so can't tell you about them.

Im assuming he "safely" cut with one hand on the saw and the camera in the other:msp_scared:

Man if that's the case, I want to know how he got the throttle on the top handle

call me presumptuous, but I'd hazard a guess that the vid was shot with a tripod.
Look at the camera movements near the end.

bout 25 bucks for a cheapo one, all the way up to the price equivalent of a large Stihl saw.
even the cheap ones will do wonders for the quality of your videos
*and* your family photos.
Even the little 6 inch tall ones will do the job, if you have a place to set them on top of something and you need to make sure it will handle the weight of your camera.
just gotta be careful of the little ones tipping over too easily
and crashing your camera on the ground/floor (not healthy for da camera).

I have the Tech Tach as well, superior product, got my from Amicks Superstore as they were closest and I was impatient. They used to be a vendor here, don't know if they still are.

Question about tachometers:
I don't really understand how to use a tach to set a saw: How can you measure the idling speed if the chain is not turning ?
I want to buy a tach and learn to set myself the saw.

i just ordered the STIHL one with the lead on it. sick of bringing mine to a shop and letting a tech run it, when i have no idea if he knows his ass from his elbows. not when it comes to pinning my $1100 2-stroke.

The engine should idle just short of engaging the clutch. If the chain is turning at idle it's too fast. Typically idle rpms vary but in the 2500-3000 range is what you'll see.

I use these cheapys on all sorts of equipment. ATV Tachs from Cabelas or Rocky Mountain ATV. $35, but Probably not the quality of the Fast Tach, and you have to rig your own connections.

Cabela's: Trail Tech TTO Tach/Hour Meter

this is my tack cost about €30 seems to work pretty good came with a wire to attach to the plug wire. works just as good without it as long as it is near the plugwire
refresh rate also seems to be quick no more than a second
