My birthday is coming. My usual gift to me is some sort of tool
that I need but haven't bought yet. I am thinking of a bandsaw tension
gauge.

The Iturra folks have one for $150. All others are way above that.

So... what should I buy? Or do I really need one?

You don't need one. Keep plucking the blade just until the sound is
clear. A bandsaw upgrade might include cool blocks, new blades,
wheel base, or gooseneck lamp.
