I know this has been covered somewhat but alot of the threads were several years old. I borrowed a buddy's SenDec Max Tech today and wasn't really impressed with the unit. There is probably a learning curve involved but the refresh on it seemed really slow and I didn't trust my results with it as the readouts were all over the place. I am looking to get a good and reliable tach. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. It seems as the Tech-Tach TT-20K is a popular one. Thanks guys............
4 years of tach info and feed back. http://chainsawrepair.createaforum....aw-tachometer-choices/msg46695/?boardseen#new Brief 1st post in thread. Get a .5 refresh rate tach. The 1.5 sec refresh rate from Baileys and EDT 7-8 are to slow for the money. There is a cheapie tach that is 2.5 sc refresh rate and cost $20-$25, it works, accurate but is slow. Older no longer available tachs like the Stihl EDT-5, DET-302, DET-303, Echo-1000 or 1100 (same as EDT-5). If you find one grab it. Still available TT-20 and Tiny Tach are all .5 refresh rate and cost $85 If I couldnt find a EDT-5 like I have, I would buy one of these new.
Had I researched more, I would have went with the one above. But I have an EDT-8. It works , but it is a little slower than others out there.
