      I use toopre but cheaper one without meter. It’s a direct copy of parktool TM-1 and very accurate. it’s very sample mechanism just few screws and springs . you can’t get it wrong.

      I wouldn’t buy any Toopre tools that have moving parts. I have some of their valve core removers (just a simple piece of aluminum) and they stink and strip easily.

      I have one like that—basically the same, just with different labeling.
      For absolute measurements, it’s completely unreliable; I have a calibration device, and this unit fails to reproduce the same readings consistently.
      For relative measurements, however, it is usable—within a single wheel, it can compare tension between spokes.
      The best value for money is simply the TM-1.
      For those who want truly accurate measurements, go for a Jobst Brandt–type spoke tension meter; unbeatable.

      Even if they are improperly calibrated, you can make sure all spokes have an even tension just by the reading alone, so they are more than suitable for its purpose

      I have a ZTTO one with a conversion chart and it works fine. I can’t speak for it’s accuracy compared to a TM-1 but it does the job for the wheels I build for myself
