Recommended Timing Light/Dwell Meter

Hi All,
I am looking to buy a timing light and dwell meter to help me verify the settings on my truck. Any recommendations? I have seen on amazon that the Equus 5568 has good reviews and is a timing light and dwell meter. Any other ones I should look at?

I bought one of these at a swap meet for $10.

BTW, thanks to the admin for moving this to the proper forum. Didn't realize there was a tools thread.

That was a good deal on that timing light. Doubt I could find something at that price in my area.
