Ever wondered exactly how fast that motor is really spinning? Or needed to diagnose a machine's performance but didn't have the right tool? The NEIKO 20713A Digital Tachometer solves this common problem for mechanics, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts who need precise rotational speed measurements without physical contact.
What sets this tachometer apart is its incredible accuracy combined with user-friendly design. With a margin of error of just +/-0.05%, you can trust the readings for critical diagnostics. The laser photo sensor technology allows you to measure from a comfortable distance of up to 20 inches, making it perfect for hard-to-reach or potentially dangerous machinery. The large, backlit LCD screen displays readings up to 99,999 RPM, so you'll never struggle to see your measurements, even in dim workshop lighting.
Beyond basic RPM measurement, this tachometer includes several thoughtful features that make your work easier. The auto-zero function ensures quick, accurate measurements without constant recalibration. Store minimum and maximum readings to track performance over time or identify peak operating conditions. The slim, ergonomic design fits comfortably in your palm, reducing fatigue during extended use, while the included zip-up canvas bag keeps it protected and ready for transport between jobsites.
This tool becomes indispensable in numerous scenarios. Mechanics can diagnose engine performance issues without disassembly. Woodworkers can verify lathe speeds for optimal cutting conditions. HVAC technicians can measure fan motor RPMs for system diagnostics. The included 24 inches of reflective tape makes setup quick and easy—just attach a small strip to the rotating object, aim the laser, and get instant readings. Additional tape is readily available at any hardware store, so you'll never run out when you need it most.
Whether you're a professional technician or serious hobbyist, this tachometer delivers the precision and reliability you need to make informed decisions about equipment performance.
