For $15 for the jointer knives if it worked, yeah, I'm
interested...looks handier than the regular dial indicator, for sure.

For the hand plane "not so much"...

But at $15 it's not much of a risk even if it doesn't pan out...

Sure, if you have bad eyesight or you want a specific blade height
that has to be extremely accurate. It may be a limited market, but I
can see some people using it.

Then why did they go to the trouble of making and marketing it if it serves
no purpose?

As you can see, it can be used for other purposes.

I recently bought a pair of $25 iGaging digital calipers, and they're
great. Very good build quality and accuracy (amazingly good for the
price). It even came with a spare battery. The body (the part with the
buttons and display) of the height gauge linked to above looks to be
completely identical to my calipers. Whether anybody would find it
useful or not, I don't know -- but I think it's a good bet it will
work as advertised and work well.

Machinists use them. Beats the heck out of using cigs paper to figure it.
