Well, the two I have, a Dick Smith kit, and one I bought off eBay, work very 
well, are quick, and have other uses too.

I have a couple of bridges, including a really beautiful military one, but they 
take too long to set up for a single use.

If I were going to use it to test a bunch of caps, I would use it, but otherwise it 
is too much trouble,
