There are 2 types of tension calibrators in the market - analog (aka "ruler"-type) scale and digital.
If you check online, you would discovered the analog tension devices cost a bomb! Hence I bought a digital tension calibrator instead.
Please refer to my previous article to reference how a Japanese stringer used the device.
Do shop around before you buy as even the digital version (similar to the below) can be as expensive (USD$30 not inclusive of shipping)! I purchase my unit for about SGD$8 from eBay (inc shipping) and works like a charm. Yes, pretty cute as well!
Simple but functional.
Powered by 2xAAA batteries, it has a maximum capacity of 40lbs - more than adequate for my purposes (at current point in-time) as it is seldom for badminton racquets to be strung above 30lbs. Upon reaching a stable pulling tension (or weight), you will hear a beep and the information will be displayed either in kg or lb. Other functions include a HOLD and CLEAR/RESET and the ON/OFF button (aka "smile bar")
