Yes, I've got one and like it a lot. Once its calibrated (and they've
got calibrations for many cars already listed), its even easier to
use than a feeler gauge. One nice thing is that you'll be able to
measure the valve clearance even with somewhat worn rockers. They're
not that expensive, and I think they're worth the money.
