Where have you been all my life? (Campy content)

Perusing eBay this AM I came across these FD alignment tools. They look simple and easy to use. I can't believe I have never seen these before. Anyone had experience with them?

Saw those as well.

Been thinking about buying a set... but I've had pretty good luck so far using my more primitive methods.

Works well. Allows you to set the der height quickly because you can push the der down on the tool.

I eyeball the height on the front derailleur now, but it looks like these would really help with the side to side alignment.

Those were released when the 2015 group sets came out to help with the setup of the new "long arm" FDs, makes setup very nice and quick
