the chain adjusters are all more or less only estimating tools - no matter how much you pay for it - you can never really rely on the markings on the adjuster or on the swingarm.
you can easily adjust the slack of the chain - but that's already possible with the original and you never need a super expensive replacement.
there is only one suitable tool for 100% precisely adjusting the alignment of the chain - it's, as far as i know, called the "laser cat" and works with a laser beam. (see my homepage here)
if you want to do something good for yourself, then see that you can buy such a laser-cat.
even at a new price of around 80-90 euros, it is definitely worth its price.
to buy one (laser chain alingment tool) see ebay.com
I've got one of these and a laser one that I ordered and tried out as part of the chain monkey kit and I always end up using this style over the last one because the Lazer doesn't always want to fit well in the sprockets.
