Subscribing.

Best overall for 1 tach operation would probably go to the dti 20k, . .

I bought one of those because the battery is replaceable, unlike some of the others. If I used it every day, and it lasted several years with a non-replaceable, that would be OK. But I use mine infrequently. Good to hear others like it as well. I like the idea of the small ones for mounting on the saws, like junkman's.

I need to make a small bracket to mount my hard line. I have a maxflo so I'll be mounting it between the filter housing and the cylinder cover.(on top of the carb housing) but I want it angled back so it's easier to read, I'll post up some pics when I get done

Easy to read like this

This style is what I would have bought! Then I thought! Post her up and see what's working good for everyone else! Lol. View attachment 8897

It came with double stick tape ,if i ever remove i will just pop the white tag off and put one without a hole in it and will not even be able to tell it was there. My bar wrench is where yours are mounted,i like where it is at can read the rpms in the cut easy.

I'm seeing those little ones for about $40 on eBay. Is that right? Better places to get them?
(did not see them on HL Supply)

Battery life?

Thanks.

Been looking at tachs myself. HL didn't have them I asked the Gentleman.

I want to do more than just talk tachs I want some advice. Currently I have 3. Why 3 well that's a long story. But the most used is probably the oppama corded tach. I like the corded ones as the have the best cycle rate. Best overall for 1 tach operation would probably go to the dti 20k, and the stihl well its my least favorite. Only bought it because I thought I needed it for the 661cm builds. Know all this said. I would like some really small corded tachs I can just 2 sided tape to the top of the saw and run. I do want corded so I can just tape the wire to the coil wire. Any recommendations? View attachment 8849

I like my dti20k, but have wondered about the ebay hardwire units. Good to know they work well. I think I will check them out.

 

[Deererainman]

I wonder how accurate this is. Downloaded a copy to my phone and will play with it this weekend.
