Tach

[mdavlee]

I received a brand new tiny tach from DTI. Mine had went crazy and sent in for it to be checked out. I get a package a day or so ago and opened it last night and found a brand new one. Great customer service. Since I was about 3 or 4 years out of warranty.

i had one of those randy and al told me to call the company so i did they said send it and they would either fix it or send me a new one . i sent it and they got it on a thursday and on tuesday i called and checked on it and they told me they had sent me a new one . very good customer service and i would buy from them again and recommend them to anyone

 

[mdavlee]

I was surprised as I hadn't heard back at all and a new one was here.

Good deal fellas...damn good customer service. I buy Hardline tachs but after reading this, might just switch up.

 

[mdavlee]

Hardline's are nice for their purpose. I may mount one on a few saws to keep track of hours.

I always buy Hardline's dual tach/hourmeter in the same unit. They've held up well over the couple of years I've had them.

after seeing it in action at some GTG, I am really in love with my new 20K tach from DTI, rugged and quick and showed me how bad my hearing really is
I cant actually hear a difference of about 6-700 RPMs up around 14K, no wonder everyone tries to take my orange screwdrivers away.
DTI are great folks to deal with.
I would try a hardline or tinytach but I am afraid I would stare at the screen while trying to cut - I like lights and buttons

If I remember correctly, the pkg said 10 yr life on the battery. I believe I still have the packaging and instructions from the one I mounted on my SuperSplit HD in the shop. I'll check here directly and let you know for sure.

@Khntr85...Wasn't sure on the 10-yr timeframe on the battery, it is 10-yrs on the sealed battery. It's a Hardline model HR-8061-2...about $22-24 bucks. Works on all 2/4 cycle gas engines up to two cylinders and a max of 16K RPM's. Here's the last Hardline tach/hour meter I bought mounted on my SS HD.




...physical dimension of the tach/hour meter is 2 1/4" long x 1 1/4" tall x 5/8" deep.

Good to hear... there's a few companies still out there.
Benchmade is another one. I've seen people ask for a replacement clip and they end up getting 3-4 different styles w/ screws for nuthin'. They really take care of ya. You still have yours?

I bought my tiny tach on ebay, just a few years old, already error with the display, not sure if I have waranty at all on it.

 

[dall]

thats what mine was saying and it wouldnt read above 12700

Yep.

That's pretty cool Mike.

If you're into reloading, RCBS is hard to beat for the same reason. I've gotten a bunch of parts from them just by calling customer service and attempting to order replacements. They'll take your name/address and just send stuff free of charge. First time I called them I couldn't believe it.

 

[Tor R]

RCBS

that is the brand I also use, but nothing beat Bonanza die set.
Carl Zeizz optic also has one superb waranty, my riffle optics has life waranty, once I fell hard and I bended the tube, I got one new victory scoope from them, they claimed it should handle more then what had happen.

Lol, a bit off tophic

Nice thanks for the info... Do you have this brand on your saws too...

I've got a DTI Fast Tach
Seems to be an ok product

 

[beaglebriar]

I have the DTI 20k. Hands down the best tach I've used.

 

[mdavlee]

Only one faster is one of the stihl tachometer without a replaceable battery. EDT 8 maybe?
