Checked it compared to the calibrated ones I used at my bike shop and it shows the same readings. Definitely worth the money

Even right from the factory, the spoke tension measurements are way off compared to a calibrated meter, so you really can't use this to get accurate tension. It is consistent enough between measurements to get relative tension if you just need to tighten a spoke or two.I used my gage from another tool to calibrate this one and it holds up for a few days. This really needs to come with a calibration spoke of it's own to be useful for anything other than checking a couple of loose spokes.

Works well for road and mtb. Accuracy and ease of use are good if you understand how wheels are built and use a proper Truing process. Ensure you unload your spokes between each round and before you check tension.

Not sure if it is accurate but it is useful to make sure spoke tensions match

I am not going to spend over $100 for the Park tool version of this I’m just not. I don’t work on bikes professionally, besides, this ZITA spoke tension. Device is just as good, in my humble opinion. For 20 bucks, oh my gosh, it’s great to check your spokes once in a while to see if you have one that’s really loose or perhaps way too tight. Beyond that, park tools should get real, it’s just overpriced. This one is good value and I highly recommend it. I checked out the other one, the one that’s orange, and I like this one better. They want an orange seemed a little sticky, this one’s very smooth. Anyway, can’t really go wrong here. Perfect .

I must admit I wasn't expecting much from a $20 tool, but I was very impressed with the quality of this.Very easy to use and I expect it will outlast me.

This tool is a nice knock-off and functionally seems as solid as the original TM-1. Calibration of any of similar tools is always questionable since each specific spoke performs slightly differently and these tools measure spoke deflection when lateral force is applied and user can convert the deflection reading to tension force through a table supplied with each tension meter model. Some level of factory calibration is to be assumed so we stay in the ballpark (not to crack the rim by applying too high tension or making the wheel less stable by staying on the low end). The main value of this tool remains in making the spoke tension as uniform as possible and one doesn't exactly need to rely on calibration for that. Just aim for close readings so that the tension is evenly distributed. (Some differences will be dictated by the goal producing true wheel). (Note that on a dished wheel tensions on each of the sides are different).The tool is reasonably sensitive (low friction) and readings correlated with those of the TM-1 with some offset that didn't concern me since the TM-1 wasn't calibrated recently.The manufacturing of this meter doesn't pay full attention to details. The white printed scale is a bit fading at the left side.The lose end of the spring is too long and pokes your hand. It is begging to be shortened or at least covered by a piece of plastic insulation stripped of a wire.The triangular pointer is rotated few degrees to the right - not centered around the line going through the center of rotation. It only feels less than professional but you can still get your readings well. (The pointer sits in a stamped square hole. Who ever copied the original design didn't fully appreciate the geometry of the original).Good tool for the price.

Fait ce qu'on s'attend que ça fasse, quoi dire de plus, que ça soit précis ou pas, ça donne un point de comparaison de tension des broches..
