I've got a perfectly good timing light but it only reads to about 2000rpm which can be a pain when wanting to check something further up the range. Been thinking of getting another that reads higher ,but another option is these hand held thingamies:
Anyone used one! Any idea what they're like for accuracy etc!

No its not, just saying you did not double check before posting. Especially when starting your own thread, its not a good note to start off with of kids talking to each other. As for digital tach look around do your homework I have used the cheaper one similar to the auction above and have found them to be crap.

Yeah whatever. One wrong link, ever, and I get two posts pointing it out. You guys need another hobby.
Anyway, crap in what way!

Crap, in the way they break down and give false readings. My friend is who training to be a mechanic bought one of these because they were cheap. Compared to my proper expensive quality one, the one you posted gives false readings, then eventually they just break because of the poor build quality.

I have one I use for calibrating tachs I have compared it to rpm of scanner before and was pretty accurate you need to stick reflective tape on the crank pully to obtain a reading

That's largely the use I'm thinking of. As a spin off I could use it when I'm messing about with PC fans. Kinda thinking you can't go wrong for $40.
