Pros & Cons
Pros
Tachometer uses reflective tape to act as a trigger. Easy to read instruction manual. One complaint is that the readout is upsidedown.
To reduce hopping around or erroneous values on the rpm readings hold the unit away (15-20 inches) from the rotating part. The lathe chuck has too many self-reflecting angles but the chuck mounting plat in the back works perfectly.
Cons
Is it operator error or defective tach, rarely ever certain of anything. The memory function is awful, if you missed the display of the result and then press the memory button again you're out of luck. This is the first time that i get a defective ite... Read More
The receiver works because if i point it at a florescent lamp, it shows a reading but it does not produce it's own light source like it is supposed to. Now laser comes on but it will not detect the reflector. Will try a new 9v battery.
Highlights
Quality
This has been a great unit and let me set the rpm for a tractor pto on a tractor that lacked a tachometer
Easy to use feels like it is accurate
Backing is extremely hard to remove as it appears to be old or dried out
The reflective tape has a really strange backing
Price
This seems like a good value considering everything
This is a very solid unit for the value
The dealer wants 75 plus hourly rate just to adjust the rpms
But for the use at the price could not pass up another one
Competitiveness
I matched this against my 300 calibrated unit and it only reads a few rpm different
