Default One-man rigging aids - is the electric up/down control worth it?

Older GRP maybe....I haven't seen a tool like that in anything made in 30+ years.
I have seen SGS-1-35, and older glass ships, but I usually deal with "AWx" ships, so, I am not an expert.
Most "newer" ships can use a longer tapered pin to align the first hole (assuming 2 root pins) to get one started, then fiddle the 2nd one in......


I know of at least two Nimbus 4's delivered with the "crowbar tool". I put rubber hose over mine, but I have seen another one used on someone's glider without any covering
