Default spoke adjustment

Do any of you use a spoke torque wrench for spoke adjustment? If so, where did you purchase the wrench and for what price. OR is everyone confident with the "ping" test. Thanks

Default RE: spoke adjustment

I bought a spoke torque wrench, but don't recall the name of the company. I bought it online so do a google search and you will probably find one. I check my spokes at each 5000 mile service on my 2002Heritage Classic. I have had a couple be a quarter turn loose or so.
