Let us know if you find something cheap. I've been looking
for something like this to use on my lawnmower. Already have
a big ole magnet spinning around on the flywheel, just need
something to read it cheaply.


You gave me a thought. My Fluke 117 reads frequency. I wonder if a wrap or two around
the spark plug wire would be enough for it to register?

Currently my meter is at work and I'm waiting for a blade adaptor since mine is cracked or
I'd be telling you how it worked out.
