It's worth the few hours it took to make that tool. No more crawling under the truck with a screwdriver to turn a few teeth at a time. Did that for years, but there IS a better way. Since it uses a 7/8 long impact socket, I can use a breakover OR the air impact wrench. I am always looking for better ideas.
The thing that's lost in this conversation is, you simply CANT turn the engine with the fan belt when the engine is new. Its way too tight and its very hard to turn it at all. Even removing the plugs. Most of the work I do is with new rebuilds so its nice to have a way to do it. I still think it would have been nice for the HB to have been bolted in so we had something to grab on to.
