IMO It can make adjusting or fitting new gear cables a little easier. I find it much easier to do a clutch cable without it.

A must have in my tool box, I bought one from a cycle shop, cheaper than someone saying its for a lambretta.

That's a good tip. Thanks. Here's another one; cycle shops sell mini grease guns with the grease in a tube like you get toothpaste in. Really handy for getting small amounts of grease into hard to reach places.
