I got this in today hoping to set my own intonation on my FR's. Has almost perfect reviews. Anyone else tried one?

That looks similar to a tool that Stew Mac made a good while ago. This one looks a little more complex than the Stew Mac version. I have always been able to do my Floyds without any additional tools. You would probably shake your head if you ever watched me adjust one. I had so many Floyds back in the day that I had to figure out a way to intonate them. Many people hate working on them. I actually like them. Once you know and understand all of the parts of it, they are darn near bullet proof once setup.

The Stew Mac looks like it is more difficult to set up for recessed FRs. This one sets up on top and has a slot to easily drop the allen wrench in to loosen and tighten the saddle. The large knob makes it super smooth to set intonation. I used it yesterday for the first time and took me less than 10 minutes. What a lifesaver! I have 6 locking trem guitars. I used to just pay for a setup at about $80 each time (and sometimes leave my guitar). Now, I can do my own, and fast. I highly recommend this one.
