I use this too. It must be 20+ years old.
I like that I can twist in one side feeler (it's friction fit) and find the highest spot on that side of the rim. Adjust that one, and maybe the next highest. Now pull that away and switch to the other side of the rim. It's easy and effective. The plastic tip of the feeler makes a nice sliding noise on the brake track, so it's easy to find the range of that high spot -- is it just a 2 or 3 spoke adjustment, or maybe longer along the rim?
It's accurate enough to flip the wheel around and get a reasonably centered rim.
