TIME SAVER(10/03/2013)
This is the best product I have ever used for a 1911 trigger job. It is to get it perfect fast. I have other things to do with my time other than continually assembling and disassembling again and again. If your eyes aren't what they used to be then this is the ticket. Make you a mount to set this on to compensate for your neck angle when you lean over greatly reduces fatigue. Great product designed by a great school!
Indispensable tool for 1911 sear work(29/09/2014)
I work with my hands on humans for a living, and possess surgical loupes for use in the operating room. The ability to see is a must before you can make meaningful changes, whether that is to the human body or to your sear/hammer interface. The 20x built-in loupe makes it really easy to see if the sear-hammer interface is mating properly, especially if you apply magic marker to the sear and work the hammer to see where it's rubbing unevenly. There are very small division marks in the lens which allow you to accurately measure the proper hammer hook height (0.018 or 0.020 - your choice) instead of relying just on a piece of shim. You can also fine-tune the primary and secondary angles on your sear using this Yavapai Sear Tool with the proper stone. It allows you to make that perfect sear-hammer interface in the shortest amount of time possible. I think this device trumps the Power Customs Series 1 Stoning Fixture. I can use this Yavapai tool to get perfect angles, as well as being able to SEE that the angles have been tuned perfectly.
Work in a well-lit environment so you can see clearly using this device. Put it against a white background to reflect light through the small hole in the end for even more revealing images. Rotate the lens so you allow maximum light through via the cut-out at the bottom end of the lens tube.
You will not regret getting this device for your sear work.

Great tool for trigger work!(03/12/2015)
This tool provides the individual the ability to check the sear and hammer engagement for the 1911. By providing the needed magnification to ensure that the sear angle is correct, the person can ensure that the trigger job is done right and the results can be repeatable.
High Quality Sear Tool with magnifier(09/12/2015)
There are plenty of 1911 Sear jigs available; this one has a 20x magnification lens with a 0-0.18 inch scale with and 0.002 inch increments. This allows direct measurement of hammer hooks and direct observation of Sear Hammer interface even if your eyes are aging like mine. The jig itself is similar to others, the magnification and scale set this tool apart from others. This tool has made Hammer Sear adjustments much easier to accomplish accurately.
