Has anyone tried the Aliexpress rear derailleur alignment tools?

Looking to add this tool to my toolkit. Anyone have a suggestion? How are they?

I bought one 3 years ago, still going strong. I'm sure it's not the best alignment tool ever made, but it's been fine for my occasional needs. The particular one I bought is no longer available, but I'm sure you can find others: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003614284886.html

I have the ZTTO one as well, works fine

Awesome, thanks all. Will add one of the suggested ones to my cart! And that brifter gadget looks good, I always get really picky with how my shifters are perfectly aligned lol.

Let's complete(?) the list then I got the steel version of the Toopre one, came out at 11.34€ with a coin deal. I figured it might be a firmer construction, but given it's the only one I got, who knows.
Worked fine when I used it for hanger and brifters (also got the adapter mentioned above), although the threaded rod going into the hanger needed a bit of loctite on the tool's side to not come loose when removing the tool.

The tools with the round main column, like the one SirBikealot mentioned, have an advantage over the ones that use the square beam. The round column allows you to rotate the measuring rod out of the way to clear seat/chain stays and the chain; the designs with the square beam are more fiddly to use by comparison.

There are 3D-printed upgrades for the square beams but if you're buying new, go with the round version.

I have the real Park tool and also the LBCYCLE from Alix. I actually prefer the LBCYCLE. It also included the adapter to use it for aligning levers which is a nice bonus. It was $16 USD when I bought it, 20 now.

Got one from ZTTO, mainly I use it with the stem cap adapter to level my shifter hoods. Haven’t actually tried to use it on the hanger, but I assume it would work without any issues.

I have the cheaper round aluminum one - was 30$ cad a couple years ago. It works well enough - there is a bit more play in the pivot pin than is desirable (was like that new), but still fully functional.

can't reccomend the ZTTO one if you need something equal to Parktool.

If you can accept an "hobby" tool for unfrequent use, it's a good choice
