Good price. Probably would have gone for that but have just bought a Super B one for just a little more from some random website.

Good price. Looks suspiciously like the Park one that ive used for 30+ wheels

acceptable for the home wheelbuilder for (relative) spoke tensions
I think doing relative by sound is more accurate and a load quicker than most tension meters, they are useful for final actual tension though.

Saw a few people dibsing a tension meter when one went up for sale the other day (I missed out).
Planet X has got one in for £30 again. Seems acceptable for the home wheelbuilder for (relative) spoke tensions, after a bit of mucking about with it on one of my wheels. More quantifiable than the "ping and tune" method with which I "successfully" built 10 wheels, at any rate.
