Has anyone any opinions on the necessity of these devices? I'm thinking about picking one up in .223 and .308 to add to my kit.

Are they really needed?  Not till you need it I have them in my main calibers just because one day they may  be needed...
There really is no way to predict if you or I will ever pull a broken case out of a chamber, but maybe

As cheap as they are, I personally would order one especially if you are shooting semi-auto's.  It's one of those things where you probably won't need it, but if you do you will be glad you have it.  I had a case break a couple years ago (was 5.56).  That's the only time it's ever happened to me.  Could only get it out with the broken shell extractor, which made it easy.

Also found a thread on it here:

Thanks, my way of thinking as well. Apologize for the dupe. I did search before I posted. Should have used google.
