Load cell source

Hey all,

As part of our strategy this year we would like to be able to reliably measure the tension in a length of surgical tubing. We know that Bomb Squad was able to do this very successfully using a load cell.

What good sources are there for load cells? We would like to keep the cost reasonable, as most of the units we have found so far are more than 500-600 dollars. Is it even reasonable to find one less that that, or is that a typical price range?

Thanks for any and all help, see you on the fields!

Eric "Ozzy" Osburn
