Yeah, it does work better (easier) and it sure as hell looks better than a threaded rod and washers... so enjoy it
The idea is to accumulate all of the proper tools to build a legitimate home shop. Having a nice shop to work in makes life so much easier. I built cruisers and kid bikes in a lbs during high school. I didn't ride bikes much back then so I had no idea how good I had it. Nowadays I would kill to have all of those bike specific tools.
