It really solve a problem that never existed and give answers to a question that has never been asked.
Gadgets will always sell, thanks to excellent marketing campains. A good example is the dozens of miracle additives that are suuposed to bring unlimited benefits


This product is used on a lot of classics that are driven very infrequently. I called up a couple of car museums to find out about this and the number of cars that use them are limited, usually they are vehicles whose former owners equipped them with this device before the car was acquired by the museum.


There are less expensive versions of this device, too. Some are used on VW 181s, f all thins!
