Who has a handheld tach?!

Where would you find a handheld tach that wold plug into the port next to the diagnostic port on a 95 4Runner 3vze? No one seem to carry one, and I want to get my timming right, not guestimating at the tach inside the cab.
Thanks!

Some of the better timing lights will have a digital RPM readout, that is what I use on my 22RE:

For some reason my dad's dwell/tach disappeared. I'm using his timing light (Penske!) and need a tach. I saw this one:

I'm still looking.

Well, I bought an Actron MultiMeter for $60 from Autozone, and it is tight (dope, sweet, chronic, bomb, shiznit, da kine). I can do all of my elctrical stuff plus read RPM from THE COMPUTER/SIGNAL WIRES that indicate RPM from the conection next to my diagnostic port. Check out Actron.com. They have lots of tools, 2 lines, Home and Professional. This solved my post. (
