What is your recommendation for a timing light?
 
I need to upgrade to a dial back timing light. Having never had one I was looking for a good one on Amazon & it seems like all of them have reviews that range from less than stellar to downright horrid. I don't mind spending money for good quality, but it seems there were a lot of complaints saying they either didn't work from the sartorial or quickly broke
Help me out guys. What do you have that you like & why you like it. Or what brand or model should I stay away from?

I am not a professional engine builder or an expert on timing lights but I purchased this Innova light on Amazon. Worked pretty darn well when I installed the HEI in my truck. Set my initial timing, idle, checked my full in timing at 3000 rpm and also my charging voltage. Easy peasy.

I got the Innova 3568. Similar to above, but it doesn't read dwell and it doesn't come with a case. It seems to work really well. I like that they have a tachometer built in; it makes it easy to make adjustments all with one instrument.
