I bought the second one of these when he had them on EBay and it is a very useful device. About 1/3 the cost of the "pro" version that I know Morrie and John Parrette use. It's also about 1/3 the size. The information comes off a little differently than the other Magnahelic but once you calibrate it and practice using it you'll be figuring out how badly your clarinet needs a spa treatment. Well worth the money I highly recommend it.
