Has any one tried one of these? Are they worth playing with? Can you get them in Aus?

In my opinion, I dont see why the magnetic thing would work because of ground level and you'll need to put spot on area - hence it could be wrong and I could be wrong.

the wheel alignment thing - lots to muck around as Ive seen someone doing it - just lot easier and accurate if you get it computerised/professionally done!

Okay for backyard mechanic for quick alignment before getting on the road but you still would get it properly aligned. I havent seen one of these in Australia.
My 2c worth.

It would be interesting to know if either of those things worked acurately enough.
I use a square and a rule to measure camber and a tape measure to check toe. I can't see the point in measureing caster, it's more of a driving preference/handling thing.

It's handy when you can so that both sides can be made the same .
