Park TM-1 Spoke Tension Meter
The TM-1 accurately and reliably measures the tension of nearly any spoke for stronger, truer wheels.
The TM-1 sits in the drawer we open every day. Park Tool design and manufacture it in Minnesota; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Park stockist, not the manufacturer.
What it does
Tension is what makes a wheel last; truth is only what makes it look right. We read every wheel with a tension meter and even out the spread, because a wheel that is true but unevenly tensioned goes out of true the first time it is loaded properly.
What Park say about it
- Accurate and reliable spoke tension measurement tool
- For use on all spoke diameters, materials and shapes
- Able to be completely rebuilt and recalibrated, for a lifetime of reliable use

About this listing
Sold here as a single tool. Unlike the rims and hubs we list, nothing gets built around it — it ships as it comes.
How we use it at ProWheelBuilder
Everything Park we stock is something we use ourselves. We would rather carry a short list we trust than a long one we have never opened. So if you are buying the TM-1 to build or maintain your own wheels and you are not certain it is right for the job, ask us. We would rather point you at the correct tool than sell you the wrong one twice.
Park's kit is the industry default largely because it is documented. Their repair guides reference these exact tools, and they keep making them.

TM-1 questions
Do you ship tools on their own?
Tools ship alone, usually the same day the order lands.
Is this the right one for my wheels?
Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you straight. A tension meter has to fit the part exactly; the wrong size does damage rather than work.
Not sure? Text or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929 or email info@prowheelbuilder.com — you will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
