I've got one and it's useful, in that you only need two hands to easily set the clearances, whereas before you'd need three hands. They're not really much of a time saver, once you learn the number of clicks you need, they'll save a bit, but I still use mine in conjunction with a set of traditional feeler gauges.

Here's an interesting opinion piece on them:

That is very well written and a very good point. Things we take for granted with instructions. We better think again. I was just about to buy one. Thanks for pointing that out.
