So have you tried using your method and then checking with the tool to see if it's any different? I agree with claude.For new renner actions and parts it does a great job.Ive found it's best to check against hammers on both sides,as if the shanks are slightly angled over to line up with the strings,the position may be different depending on which side you look at. Agreed though,on older actions it not so good,and the traditional method is more reliable.
