Excellent for the money

I needed a tachometer for my work car. No racing car. I wouldn't use this tach on race day but for the price it works. Lighting is good, enough wiring and gear to work with, looks good, works well.

Pros
  • Nice deal
Cons
  • Modern

sits well, good lighting

does not work properly in the cold, shows 0 when idling and rises sharply when driving - as soon as it gets warm in the cabin, it works perfectly. Plus, it fits well, has good backlighting, and is easy to set up!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, everything is fine

Good for the Money Good for the Electrics

The '89 Civic didn't have a tachometer. Mounted on the steering column without much effort. Works perfectly. I also have a Toyota pickup with a small Autometer gauge. Both cars work equally well. If you are interested in where they are made, the Equus is made in Taiwan while the Autometer is made in the USA.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Safety

Not as advertised - spare parts

For 4-6-8 cylinder engines only. This is not stated in the description and the instructions downloaded from the manufacturer's website are incorrect. This indicates a universal touch. I return that touch. I need one for a 3 cylinder engine (Japanese mini truck). At least Revain's return process is good.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

Stops working very quickly.

I had to believe a few reviews on this product that suggested it would let me down. It initially looked solid enough, was easy to assemble, easy to set up, and worked fairly accurately based on what my RPM time gauge was telling me. After a dozen or so rides, it either doesn't work or doesn't work accurately. It looks like my return window has expired, just over a month, so I'll be researching where to go next with Revain. UPDATE a year later: I was able to return the first touch and they sent…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some errors

Incorrect information on manufacturer's website

I need a tachometer for my single cylinder motorcycle. require an inductive pickup) so with no useful information in the Revain description I researched the product on the Equus website (equus dot com) before placing an order. Since the 6086 fitment guide available for download from the Equus website clearly states that it is compatible with single cylinder engines and has an inductive pickup, I placed my order with confidence. However, when installing the unit I found that the 6086 only works…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
