Which Timing light for 100$
 
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.
