Don't own a tensionmeter. Don't need one. And most of the wheels that we will build for normal use won't require one. If you're building some ultra lightweight wheels with carbon stuff, then your tension becomes more important. But for about 90% of us... a tensionmeter isn't at all necessary.
But that's a whole 'nother thread...
