Helpful for a beginner
If you have never done this door casings before it definitely helps. Particular in marking the offset for the reveal. The other functions probably would be helpful if you were doing it entirely on your own. The instructions are kinda confusing for it. It would be nice if the locking mechanism for the reveal was more positive as basically you probably want to use it the same for all your doors and it is just a little to easy to reset it. Not perfect but I did find it helpful.

I had to use it a couple of times before I got comfortable with it. It is precise and I get perfect measurements every time. My mitre cuts are perfect now. The magnets work great to keep the tape in place so one person can measure.

Does its job well.
Nice jig for all intended purposes assuming door and windows are installed squarely which really is the case. However, its nice to be able to adjust to a 3/16 or a 1/4 reveal at the push of a button and not having to carry different home made jigs. The fact you can temp secure it place and take measurements with the included tape measure slots makes trim installation a one person job, especially on 6ft or larger windows.
I will buy it again if I ever lose it.
