EVT TRIGGER

I still kind of like the old Wheelsmith folding dishing tool, and I love the aesthetics of the Campagnolo dishing tool, but in terms of accuracy, convenience etc. it's the EVT Dishing tool. There is no 2nd place.
The problem, however, is finding one. There's information out there on the tool but no one seems to sell them.

I disagree. Just because you don't trust it doesn't mean it can't be trusted. Every time I've built a rear wheel on my TS-2, the dish is exactly right when I check it. I wouldn't trust the TS-2 stands at my co-op without calibration because someone seems to think that the shaft collars need to be loosened all the time but, once calibrated...again!...they are just as accurate as my personal truing stand.
