It was on sale at S@H a couple of months ago for 50% off. I'd say if you need
one, $10 is a good price. Unless you have a real need, I think $20 is too much.
I have had one for a couple of years and I use it for one purpose only, dyno-ing
motors - to obtained matched pairs or quads for robot chassis. Built with
matched sets, robots drive a lot straighter than they do with mismatched ones.
