- The UT373 UNI-T digital tachometer is Uni-Trend's budget small size non contact laser tachometer that offers good accuracy, useful features & ease of use.
If you're in the market for an inexpensive, small hand held non contact digital tachometer, or are considering the UNI-T UT373 tach, I hope my little review here can help you decide if the 373 has the features, usability and performance you're looking for in a hand held tachometer.
Accuracy is impressive, build quality is decent, it's easy to use and the UT373 uses inexpensive and easy to source AAA batteries. The large backlit high contrast LCD display is easy to see and read in both low light and bright sunshine.
The UT373's non contact RPM light sensor can be used with either the built in laser or an external light source making it very adaptable in multiple applications. It even has a counter feature which adds more versatility over and above that of an RPM meter.
It works great on smaller RC helicopters where you can safely tach the main or tail rotors. Checking RPM on airplane or quad copter propellers is easily done as well. With an RPM range up to 99,999, about the only thing out of the UT373's useful RC application checking range is model turbine engines.
Of course, RC is just one area where a nice little digital tachometer comes in handy. These non contact laser tachometers work well in all sorts of applications from automotive, to turning machinery, to power equipment.

Another Phenomenal video John! A wealth of knowledge and information as always.
Much appreciated
Thank you John, for making and posting this video. (I love that you measured the mower shaft speed, as that was I was hoping to see. Thank you).
Glad you found the information useful.
I bought this product a few minutes ago and just now I found your review. I think I did a right decision with this. Thank you for your great review!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for the review. TIP:I bought one of these and found it unreliable at first till I discovered that the supplied 3M tape has TWO removable covers to it. There is one for the protective cover of the self adhesive backing (obviously).. BUT also a thin film over the top of the reflective surface too! After removing THAT it worked as it should do. There are no references to the tape at all in the instructions.
Thanks for the info 👍
Hi John, thanx a lot for the detailed product review. I was looking for a digital tachometer on Amazon, and there are lots, but this one was my favorite one. You helped me alot making the decision.

Very well explained
@ Easy One Thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I really enjoyed this really informative video
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Hi John. Thanks for the learning video. Will this read spark pulse. Wanting an RPM to check the RPM on my lawnmower.
This one looks photo laser only rather than read a pulse on a spark plug.
This is an optical tach, not an ignition/spark tach.
good job
Thank you - Cheers
You ever try a brand soldering iron for exemple hakko.
Not sure what solder irons have to do with tachometers; but yes, I've owned and used a Hakko 888D along with several Weller soldering stations at work.
@@Rchelicopterfun if you want you can buy a jbc station olready used în great condition at 245 dolars or you can buy a fx 951 already used for ebay at 165- 200 dolars .
@@andreiciora2765 Why would I waste my money on some used station or pay outrageous amounts of money as a hobbyist on overpriced stations when the T12 works a treat and is better than any soldering station I've used to date. No way.
@@Rchelicopterfun ok
Actualy i use one of this t12 iron for my second bench and worck great .
What about the Bluetooth mark in screen if you start
Can it use on automobile ?
Use it on anything you want
I'm surprised it's actually a laser diode and not only some collimated LED
I'm no expert, but the little I know about LED collimation is you lose a great deal of light output in the process - no? If so, a laser makes much more sense from an increased working distance standpoint along with competing against strong ambient light sources.
@@Rchelicopterfun all you say is true. I was just surprised they didn't cheap out on it :-)
Why's your rc saying "shit is about to get real" ?
What about Bluetooth mark in screen if you start
Unused symbol would be my best guess. No mention of it in the manual, and the only time it ever shows up is during the power digit test.
Love a talking transmitter 😂
#### Is about to get real😂
