If you have more than one turntable, several arms or change cartridges often a multi-purpose tool like the Clearaudio or the Feikert is a godsend.
For simple alignment tasks or a single turntable, arm & cartridge combination, a simpler tool will get the job done. Some like the Turntable Basics mirrored protractor, and some will prefer Yip's Mintlp tractor. I have owned both and prefer the db Systems DBP-10 protractor. For simple alignment tasks, it is probably as much as you will ever need. Although I own and use a Feikert, I always keep the db Protractor around and I do use it on a regular basis.
