I think it is handy I used them for Challenge Tires and it helped out quite a bit I didn't carry the tool with me beyond that as the tires stretched out a little and were much easier on and off after being seated and inflated and ridden for a bit. However a vulcanized tire yes you would carry the tool with you if you were having problems.
I use the tool at work with semi regularity but I am not regularly wrenching.
