Have any of you actually used one of those things? Is it accurate? It just seems to good to be true. What do you guys think?

This is not some "new" magic wrench or procedure, it's just a more precise method of turning the distributor cam to the point where the points just break on #1 cylinder.
It's easier than turning it with your old, tired, forefinger and thumb. Even better than turning it with your favorite slip joint pliers!! ( the ones you stole from the wife's kitchen drawer )
