Actually I think the Fast Tach is better for chainsaws,

I've had mine for a couple of years, used occasionally not every day.  Does what its supposed to do with a quick response and update. 

Please note they are secondhand from this seller though and he doesn't have them on offer all the time. Also they are sealed units so once the battery expires it's expected to be  a throw away item. Don't know if it's possible to dig out the electronics/battery...

I prefer Searon Digital Chainsaw Tachometer. This product is very cool using on Stihl 021 Chainsaw

Tiny Tach TT20K...takes a PP3 9v battery so can be changed, works on induction so no wires to connect, fast refresh, comes with a protective rubber sleeve plus wires to clamp the HT lead but haven't needed them in 10 years. 

Used pretty much daily and are good bits of kit.......and large display....no need to use glasses or a magnifying glass.

Last time I looked though not easy to buy TinyTach in the UK, unless someone knows otherwise?

I got one of these to try, so far been trouble free and refreshes quite quickly, easy to work and has replaceable battery, don't use every day, probably weekly, at the price, give it a go, not much to lose!

I ended up with a Searon I think off Amazon, if you coil the wire up and hold it near the plug lead it picks up ok so no need to actually get in and wrap it around.
