Works great for CNC Tapping with a Tapmatic Head
I have been having a very good experience with this tachometer. It seems very accurate, of course with any HAND held tachometer you have to make sure you keep your hand VERY steady, especially at higher speeds.. if your hand moves even a tiny bit it will throw the readings way off. I use this to get a precise RPM reading on my milling machine so I can synchronize a tapping head to the spindle. Since the machine uses a variable speed belt, it is impossible to get the machine to produce a precision spindle RPM, but thanks to this tachometer, I don't need precision RPM, I just need to know what it is, then feed that number into my CNC controller to do the math and come up with a feed rate that matches whatever the spindle RPM is. I find that if I rest my hand on my vice when I take the reading, it's very accurate.. If I try to just stand there and hold it at the spindle, well it's all over the place... it's not the fault of the device, it's a simple fact that if my hand moves slightly between rotations, the time it took to get the reflection will be different. I suspect that those experiencing accuracy issues do not realize how critical it is to hold steady, in my opinion at higher RPMs, it would be impossible to hold ANY device steady enough to get a consistent reading.. but if you stabilize yourself on something that is attached to whatever you are measuring, then you can get accurate readings. I have been tapping holes using this tachometer as my spindle speed reference for about a year now with this device and synchronization is perfect.

Inexpensive, easy to use, spotty consistency
If you're looking for a good averaged non-contact tach this will work.if you're looking for a finely tuned, highly accurate tach keep looking.Used if one half a dozen projects already and find it helpful but has issues being consistent in readings.From reading to reading it will vary by 30-50%. Some may due to operator error (me) but not all.Still, for the price, it does what I need it to do.Updating as on 17 May 2014: The unit still works for the most part.Still getting spotty results in back to back tests. Find it is VERY sensitive to direct lightwhihc is an issue for me since 90% of my testing is outside. I have to create my own shadeto get good readings but creating my own shade isn't an issue according to my wife (yeah, she thinks she's funnny)Also, I'd take a star off as it appears to eat batteries and at 4 AA per it'sgoing to cost me more in batteries than the unit itself. I store it in the soft casestanding upright so there is no pressure on the TEST button. Having to take the batts outeverytime will be a slight inconvenience. That and the clips in the batt compartment keep poppoing out.Might be related?

This is a Great Tool!
I can't believe I got this for $15 with free shipping. It took a while to arrive but it came all the way from China. I had been wanting a tachometer to properly set the idle speed on several small engines but an accurate tach is very expensive. This little gem is easy to use and works perfectly. I won't even question its accuracy because electronic counting of pulses is simple and perfectly accurate. The laser beam is bright so I had no trouble using it even in direct sunlight. The translated instructions leave a bit to be desired but it is so easy to use that's not a problem. Anyone who would be using this tach frequently might want to look around for a source of reflective tape but there was enough tape with it to last me a lifetime.

Good value for the money
This Tachometer is a good value for the money spent. I don't have any way to compare it for accuracy, but it is in the ballpark of the result I would expect. I have no reason to doubt that it is accurate within specs listed.It is easy to use, just follow the simple instruction. while hold the test button let the reading settle in, 2 of 3 second, and you have your reading. After testing push the memory key and hold, the number you get will be wildly random. press the memory button again, and a third time, these two numbers will be very close, and very close to the reading you see during testing. Forget the "MAX" reading, and go with the MIN, and Final readings.One great improvement would have the "Final" reading lock on the display when the test button is released, and have a "clear" button to reset the readout. Good little gadget. I would by it again.

Works Well
I used this tachometer to measure the RPM of a router and a lathe. It requires the use of a single small piece of reflective tape attached to the rotating part. Enough tape is provided to make roughly 30 test pieces. This tape reflects the laser light from the device back to its sensor. Successive measurements give consistent results. The device reads to five digits - true RPM up to 99,999 - should be fast enough for most applications! The tachometer comes with a protective cloth case - nice for storage. Actually measuring RPM is much better than guessing. My router has a speed control dial with single-digit numbers 1 through 6. Its RPM is not linear with the numbers. I was able to calibrate the router numbers with actual RPM - helpful in setting speeds and feeds.
