Motorcycle spoke keys and tension meters
#5
It's not an exact, as I've already pointed out there are too many variables for each spoke to be exactly the same torque. 

Motorcycle spokes are initially tighten at their base on the inner side of the rim, either via torx or allen key and can be undone in the same way.  Yes you will need a correctly sized spanner or you can shell out for a kit such as you've shown, it's your money.

A cheaper one can be had here [url]https://www.24mx.co.uk/motocross-accessories/tools_c91/tyre--rim-tools_c1619/proworks-spoke-torque-wrench-set-2-7nm_pid-PIA-209396?gclid=CjwKCAiA24SPBhB0EiwAjBgkhnMq9x1aCkE7rp5Eh4w9RQopN69X_pu8G094Krd8LBRwtMFqpngE_hoCMz4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds/url]

How accurate it is, who knows. 

Providing all the spokes are the same type/length and not bent, the rim and hubs are good, no spoke nut should be more than the a few mm different from each other, once the rim/hub are running true. 

The skill comes in being able to achieve the balancing act, that comes form a lot of patience and experience.
