Dear mechanics,
Which timing light would you recommend for a budget of 100 bucks?
The light would be used mainly on Honda EG and EK's for maybe at the most(30 times a month). How important is it to have the rpm function and the timing advance and retard function? There are a lot of lights out on the market but mostly those who gave their review were noobs like me that use the light maybe once in a month. What does the workshop mechanics use?

 

if it's oem motors, you don't really need the advance function.

 

we had a cheap craftsman and it worked great, then bought some snap-on 300 dollar one and it works, but always find ourselves using the cheap craftsman time and time again.

 

i have an OLD snap on i found at a yard sale and i have done several cly head/valve jobs on v8 chevys at my delaership.

most important part of a timing light is know how to you it properly and have car in base timing
