I have a dollar for each one of you who looks at this and doesn't say "Now why didn't I think of that"?

Somehow I ran across this last week and ordered one, thinking it might help out in classes. It is to make re-installing an AR hammer easier. I have my own little trick that works well but that's easy to say when you've done it so many times. I know many of you will say "I never had a problem", but in class there's always a guy or two who has trouble getting the hammer back in. It does take some finger strength and a high pain threshhold. I thought this might be worth a look.
I just got it and have only tried it on one rifle but as I fiddled with it I kept smiling and kinda shaking my head thinking, "cool".
In a nutshell you put the hammer in it, hook the hammer spring legs into it, and poof, you're not fighting the spring tension while getting the pin to line up. Once the pin is in you unhook the spring legs (a tool is provided but anything from a small screwdriver to a butterknife will do), and let them snap into their place on top of the trigger pin. I'll post some pics later.
