Nope, the older ones- they call it a master trying stand

It was actually made to stop wheel builders from doing too good of a job- shop would set a spec for different grades of wheels and when the builder hit that number they would stop. That way you didn’t have someone spending “hours” getting a $200 set of wheels better than needed or until the profit was all gone.
I bought it because I thought it was cool- I barely use it. Park Tools is located within ten miles of me, I rode my bike there many, many years ago and loaded it on my bike trailer. It was one of a few items that they sold directly.
