I ran across a very nice tester that works perfectly and is highly accurate: Neiko® 20713A Digital Tachometer, Non-contact Laser Photo | 99,999 RPM Accuracy Current Link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00For $30 I couldn't pass it up. It uses a strip of silver tape that goes on the shaft (or surface) of whatever you want to test, then its just point and read the result. If you can get a line of sight on it, you can read it. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | I bought a very similar one on eBay a few years ago, $18 delivered from Hong Kong.
Figured cheap enough it was worth the chance and so far so good, works perfectly. A higher quality, or one with a good brand name, would cost a heap more than $18. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | I bought one last summer (I think from Harbor Freight - it was OK but a unnecessarily bigger than the one Deve posted above). I think I would now buy one like Deve's - it is labelled by several "makes/vendors": $14.99 with free shipping | | |
