For a first time use, this would require more labour than just swapping the bars out. You'll need TWO of those kits + labour to install it if you want to swap two bars out quickly. And that is if you plan on keeping them both around.
You could easily do without this gadget if you don't crimp cable ends and you have a good hex wrench available. In fact it would save you a lot of money for almost no measureable loss in speed, unless you were really swapping out two sets of bars repeatedly and very often.
