Carla, I remember you posting a while back that you'd get
one of these. Did you? Is it a worth while tool?

Of course anyone with one of these, or another brand in the
same price range can voice their answer too...

Nope, not yet. I'd like to try one before I buy one. I'll have to find
someone how has it so I can borrow it.

I have one of these; I like it. I have no way of knowing how accurate it is
but it's very repeatable and sees tension differences I don't notice when I
just plonk the spoke like a harp string and listen.

I think it's more useful than a truing stand, which I never bothered to buy.
I just build wheels in the bike frame.
