Surely a nice tool to have for those of us doing the maintenance ourselves but in the amazon comments many user were saying it was practically useless and they could do a good / faster job by pitching the spoke.
I am willing to spend the money on one but it's somewhat uber expensive for what it is (as always with park tools).

I got mine from Bike Hub Store for $72 USD :-). I guess I am just a tool using animal by nature, after 40+ years of buying Micrometers and Dial Indicators, and lathes and Milling Machines...72 was not a HUGE pile of $$ :-). Brandon said he bought a pile of them for a good price, hence the nice price :-)
