Great Device
I needed a tachometer to set the idle rpms on my motorcycle, a 2005 Yamaha Road Star Silverado, which doesn't have one. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money on the high dollar tachs since I mainly wanted it as a tuning tool. So I priced a bunch of different inexpensive ones, read all the reviews and the Hardline seemed to consistently get the best reviews, so I got it. It's super easy to install and so far seems to be pretty accurate. After setting the idle rpms I took the bike for a ride, making mental notes of my rpms at different speeds while running in 5th gear. Then posted my numbers on a Road Star forum and people said my numbers were spot on. Since I purchased this as a tuning tool, I hadn't planned on leaving it on the bike. But when it was all said and done I decided it was pretty nice having a tach. So I made a little bracket and mounted it to the left handlebar. Pic was taken with the bike off, so the rpms aren't displayed. And I'm not concerned with the Hour meter, so I've never bothered to set it. As far as waterproofness goes, I haven't really put it to the test yet other than to wash the bike, which didn't seem to hurt it. But the entire unit seems to be sealed pretty good, so I don't anticipate any issues. The only real issue is that it's disposable. Since it is sealed, once the battery dies, that's it. Overall though I'm very glad I purchased it. And it's definitely served it's purpose. It may not be the classiest looking tach, but it works!

What a great product! Simple installation and works great.
Great product! I installed this on my Suzuki DF 2.5 single cylinder, 4 cycle outboard motor so I could monitor the rpms and hours for the engine break-in protocol and later to track hours for routine maintenance intervals. I had done a lot of research and found that there are some other products out there that are difficult to install and/or inaccurate, but this Hardline product was a very simple and secure installation and is accurate. There was no adjustment required at all- I installed it and it worked. Now I can run my engine by rpm rather than guessing by half-throttle, quarter-throttle etc. and don't have to guess how many hours are on the engine for maintenance. And, the price is right. Highly recommend. In addition, Hardline advised when I asked that you can use regular 18 gauge wire of 10, 15 ft if you need to place the device further away from the engine you are monitoring. I plan to do this with my small outboard so I can monitor it more comfortably as I go through the engine break in procedure with progressive rpms on my new 2.5 hp outboard.

Make better instructions for use on different motorcycles!!!
You guys get only 4 stars when a little work could have gotten you 5. On your website, add a settings page for installation in order to use the tachometer. I have a dirtbike with a headlight and depending on the make/model/year, the setting required to read RPMs is a mystery. Guys, this is a chart one of your interns can make in 5 mins.

Works ok for what you pay
I used the unit for a tach when rebuilding my Poulan Pro Chainsaw. While being easy to install and use on the chainsaw's 2 cycle engine, I could not get the RPM display to stop jumping around. I tried a different number of turns on the pickup wire, with no difference in the reading. The display is very small, so readings that jump around constantly make it difficult to determine an accurate RPM. I watched it for a while until I could get a feel of what the actual RPM was and then went to the next step. That said, I could get enough of a reading (+ or minus several hundred RPMs) to adjust the idle and high screw settings and final idle setting. I'm not sure how long the non-user serviceable battery will last but that will be reported on a later update.

I got it installed and I haven’t used it yet looks good. Over priced I think, but it is what it is. Maybe not I bought it. The prices are everywhere but I wanted something for my outboard. It had been recommended by another outboard owner.

Seems to work without needing to wrap the lead around the spark plug wire
This looks just like the Stihl EDT 9, which comes with a short 6" lead that works as a wireless 'antenna' and picks up the chainsaw RPM if the antenna is held 4-8" away from the spark plug. The Hardline tach comes with a longer lead that is supposed to wrap around the plug wire, so I cut 6" off the long lead and put that short section in the tach. This succeeded in achieving a truly wireless RPM reading when holding the DIY antenna a few inches away from an Echo SRM-210 weed trimmer and Stihl MS-250 chainsaw. Hardline apparently doesn't advertise this feature, perhaps because it only works with certain types of equipment and is presumably prone to displaying erroneous readings if the signal isn't strong enough. I was ready to buy the Stihl EDT 9 but opted for the Hardline because Amazon could ship it to me quicker. Only after receiving the Hardline did I notice the housing looks exactly the same as the EDT 9, so I apparently saved $50 by accident. Having a cheap tachometer probably saved me a lot of money in avoiding the Stihl service shop to get my MS-250 running properly. The chainsaw operator manual is vague in describing how to get the idle correct without a tach, basically making an assumption that the idle speed screw (throttle lever stop) and low-speed carb setting are already set properly from the factory. The service manual has a few important steps that require a tach as you adjust the idle speed and mixture settings back and forth to make sure both are adjusted together properly. With the Hardline tach and service manual, I had the chainsaw tuned perfectly in half the time it takes to drive to the dealer and back.

Lovely quality and accurate reading
Nicely packaged and works great. Seems to be well built for the size. The only down point was that there should have been some double sided tape in the packaging but it was missing. No real issue as I had some at home. As a product and quality, for me it's a five star.

Works well.
Only real problem with the unit is the wire provided is a bit short for what I wanted.

It just works!
Wow! Super easy to install. Works perfectly. The wire and maintenance manual were not included in the package. So i got in communication with the company. The Hardline president himself emailed me back! Any 18 or 20 gauge wire, stranded or single cable, may be used, up to 14 feet long. I used 18 gauge single wire and it fits very well. No issues at all. Great tool! Thanks.

Works well
The website product info says to use a wire of up to 15 feet but I called the manufacturer and they said it would likely work with longer. Well I used one that was 30ft long and it works 100%. Very happy with the product.
