Wow, I didn't quite expect this many replies. So based on all the positive responses by those who've actually used the tool, I'm concluding that it does a pretty good job, quickly and easily. Those who demand "exact" base timing should probably stick with Henry's or Marco's procedures. Fair enough.

I can't help but think about what MrTube and johnbuckley said, though. "Exact" seems a bit less important when you adjust the lever anyway. Maybe "good" is good enough. Sure, a tool like this is unnecessary, but if it makes thing a little easier for a newbie like me, I just might give it a try.

Thanks for all of your responses!
