    Carter BS blade Tension Gauge

    Can someone explain to me just how this gauge works? It obviously can't connect to the blade. So, how exactly does it measure the tension?

    Here's a picture form the carter site.
    I guess the knob and threaded tensioning rod bears down on a pressure pad and senses how much load is on the spring. Sends it to the readout.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
