Tiny Tach
<h3>About Tiny Tach & Design Technology, Inc.</h3><p><strong>Tiny Tach</strong> is the brand name behind some of the most trusted compact tachometers and engine-monitoring instruments in the small-engine world. The brand is engineered and manufactured by Design Technology, Inc., which has been building the original Tiny-Tach™ since 1993. What started as a practical solution for measuring RPM and tracking run time on small gasoline engines has grown into a full family of precision instruments and cleaning tools sold in more than 50 countries worldwide.</p><p>Design Technology identified a clear gap in the market: small-engine operators — from lawn-care professionals to marine mechanics — needed an affordable, accurate, and easy-to-install way to monitor engine performance without complex wiring or expensive dealer equipment. The result was the Tiny-Tach, a self-contained tachometer and hour meter that simply wraps a single wire around a spark plug lead. No external power source, no complicated installation — just reliable data.</p><h3>The Tiny Tach Product Lineup</h3><p>Today the Tiny Tach family spans several distinct instrument types. The gasoline line covers standard, commercial, and marine variants, while a dedicated diesel model uses a transducer on the fuel line to deliver accurate RPM readings on compression-ignition engines. Across all models, key features include RPM readings up to 19,990 with a half-second update time, non-resettable total engine hour tracking, resettable job timers, and programmable service reminders — making these <a href="/5674-tiny-tach-gauges-200483">Tiny Tach Gauges</a> as useful for fleet maintenance scheduling as they are for weekend hobbyists.</p><p>Beyond tachometers, Design Technology expanded into ultrasonic cleaning technology to address another persistent problem for small-engine owners: thoroughly cleaning carburetors, fuel injectors, and other precision components. Their Tiny Tach Ultrasonic Cleaners feature stainless steel tank and housing construction, adjustable LED digitally controlled thermostats, digital countdown timers, and removable stainless steel baskets — everything needed for professional-grade parts cleaning in a compact, bench-top unit. Models are available in both 2/3-gallon and 1.5-gallon tank sizes to handle a wide range of part sizes, with a 220V international variant available as well.</p><p>Complementing the ultrasonic cleaner hardware is Design Technology's own specially formulated Tiny Tach Detailing Cleaner solution. This concentrate was developed specifically for use with their ultrasonic cleaner units and is engineered to tackle the tough grime found on carburetors and small engine parts. It is biodegradable, non-petroleum based, and contains no solvents or VOCs — making it as environmentally responsible as it is effective.</p><h3>Why Choose Tiny Tach?</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Original manufacturer:</strong> Tiny Tach products come directly from Design Technology, Inc., the company that invented and has continuously refined the Tiny-Tach since 1993.</li><li><strong>Broad engine compatibility:</strong> Models are adjustable for different sparks-per-revolution configurations, allowing a single tach to work across most gasoline and diesel engine platforms.</li><li><strong>Purpose-built accessories:</strong> The ultrasonic cleaning solution is formulated in-house to pair specifically with their cleaner hardware, ensuring optimal performance.</li><li><strong>Global reach, personal service:</strong> Despite worldwide distribution, Design Technology maintains a commitment to direct customer support for application and operational questions.</li><li><strong>Continuous improvement:</strong> From lighted displays and flash memory to programmable service reminders, each generation of Tiny Tach instruments adds meaningful features for real-world engine operators.</li></ul>
