I found this article interesting reading https://www.wheelpro.co.uk/support/tensiometers/

P.S " My Park tool is wearing out."
I never handled a Park tool but it appears that fulcrum and contact pins might wear - and could be replaced. Same with the spring.
A dial gauge could be fitted to your Park tool - from what I can observe, that is the only(?) difference between it and the higher end stuff.
I see that the Park tool can be got for US$51, here
