We looked at several aspects when choosing the best tachometers, from objective measures such as physical dimensions and design to subjective considerations of look and feel. Though we have a variety of recommendations across various styles, all of our picks satisfy criteria that suit most people, thereby reducing the confusion of choice.
While you may find a tachometer for any aesthetic preference, we looked for tachometers that had simple, elegant designs - ones that would appeal to most people - rather than models that adhered to specific aesthetic choices.
Note: It doesn't mean that the tachometers that aren't mentioned here are bad. We picked these because these will help most of the people. If you have very specific preferences, we suggest you consider one of the below-mentioned products as a starting point before finalizing your pick.

If you often find yourself scrambling for good tachometer, agptek digital laser tachometer should be your first option for buying. This device measures the rpm of a physically rotating / spinning object. It works well and is able to measure reliably over a good range of speeds. It is perfect for testing analog tack on diesel engine. The laser is pointed at the reflective material and counts the revolutions of the rotating ( reflective part.) The reflective tape is easy to use and is easy to use. It will work on any system that has a rotating component that is accessible to its laser beam and that can have the included reflective tape attached to it. It measures the rotations per minute of spinning objects. It is used to check rpm on a home made gas pressure washer pump.

The neiko digital laser tachometer is specially designed for your daily usage and has all useful features. The compact, lightweight design of this photo tachometer makes it easy to get speed readings for diagnostic and measurement purposes. It includes a custom protective cushioned storage case, 3 AA batteries, instructions and a. The sensor in the tach picks up the pulses and performs the measurement, displaying in 0.1 RPM steps for speeds up to 999.9 RPM, and 1.0 RPM steps from 1000 to 99999 RPM. It comes in along with the reflective strips.
The body of tachometer is slim and easily fits into the palm of your hands. The device sends out a beamed laser spot that gets reflected by the tape or any suitably reflective surface. It has a min and max RPM function, showing the variations in the speed of the measurement. It is the perfect way to measure rotational speed.
Why We Like This:
Accurate, easy to use and well priced
Comes with reflective tape, batteries, etc
Has a memory option which remembers the last set of readings

If you often find yourself scrambling for convenient and suitable tachometer, extech reflective tape should be your first option for buying. A piece of white tape on a dark shaft or flat black tape on a polished silver shaft will give you a reading. It makes non-contact rpm measurements of rotating objects. It is designed for high reflectivity and will work. The Memory button holds last reading and recalls min/max readings. It works well and the battery lasts a long time.
This unit shows the very last sample. It is a class ii laser product, with 1mw power output. It is used for greater accuracy and longer measuring distance.
Why We Like This:
One of the best handheld laser tachometers
Mini laser photo tachometer, noncontact, rpm range 2 to 99, 999, accuracy +/-

If you often find yourself scrambling for appropriate and satisfactory tachometer, extech digital laser tachometer is your solution. A digital tachometer like Extech’s rpm33 allows you to measure the revolutions of motors and rotating shafts to ensure operating efficiency. It measures pulses and rpms. It is built with a quartz crystal oscillator so that readings maintain a high level of accuracy. The meter can measure the linear surface speed ( m / min ft / min), so you will need to follow the next procedure.
This rpm meter has a wheel attachment that directly measures surface speed in m / min or ft / min. It is easy to use tachometer fir measuring belt or roller speeds from a distance up to 1.6ft (0.5m), so you can safely collect the data you need. This digital tachometer also allows you to store and recall up to 10 data sets with 4 parameters (measurement, max, min and average) for convenient future reference.
Why We Like This:
Complete with contact wheel, 9v battery, reflective tape, carrying case, and user manual
