Yes, many gadgets and gizmos are over-hyped marketing ploys designed primarily to extract cash from your wallet. But some of them actually do what it says on the label - they work.

To my mind, dismissing "gadgets" as unnecessary for someone with sufficient proficiency is equally as foolish as being suckered by the marketing hype used to promote many gadgets.

It may just be, in some rare instances, that the gadget being dismissed off-hand is actually a step forwards for thousands of woodworkers.
