Good, but overpriced
Very good, and accurate. Just way overpriced, like all Stewmac products.

Excellent quality
Multiple meters to get at the right angle. Metric to English conversion chart embossed on the back. Thick steel that doesn't bend. Not oily at all (which seems to be a common complaint with less expensive options).I used this to set up a Mex. P Bass that I bought used. Sure enough, the relief was way out of wack. 3/4 of a turn on the truss rod and back in business. I also used it to tune up an old Telecaster. A really nice bonus was an extra paper chart that lists relief and action recommendations from StewieMac for different instruments. These recommendations were very close to the Fender recommendations that you can get online. So if you can't find your specs for your instrument, you can use the StewMac numbers and you will probably be ok. I am really glad I coughed up the extra dough. You get what you pay for.

Accurate for guitar setup
Perfect and sturdy string gauge measurements for guitar action set up. Don't settle for second best. You have a choice of inches vs millimeters.

Just buy the good stuff.
What surprised me the most, was the weight and gauge of this tool. I have had several other brands and they all shared one common problem, they would bend. May not seems like a big deal, but with the tolerances in play, it is. I admit I’m a cheapskate and when I see something less than half the price, well, you know. You would think at my age, I would know you get what you pay for and I did, a well made, accurate, reliable product from a great company.
