I suppose our local experts here don't need something like this but it looks to be a useful tool for those of us whose close-up vision isn't quite what it used to be.

For me, I have a great deal of trouble getting the blade projection to be straight across by eye and get tired of the continual guess an check approach. I'm wondering if anyone here uses one of these and can comment on its usefulness to them in setting up their planes.
PS - If you have been doing plane setups since 1966 and/or never had a need for something like this due to your tremendous eyesight; and/or feel; and/or innate - god given ability (and wonderfulness) to do plane adjustments then you can just close the thread and move on to something more interesting to you. Really don't want anymore snide comments.
Thank you
