Small Engine Tachometer

I have been working on a lot of single and twin cylinder engines lately. Several times I have needed a tachometer to set max rpm.
Any suggestions as what to get?

Fast tach works great.

Design Technologies. Hand-Held economical tachometers. Wireless tachometers.

I use a TREYSIT vibra tac, about $25 Tecumseh part #670156. It gets the job done. Have a good one. Geo

I purchased the Neiko tach from Amazon and tried it today for the first time. Worked great out of the box and had very consistent and repeatable measurements. I'd highly recommend it.

Will it work on a two cylinder?
