For just one bike it is overkill- but I can mount tubeless tires on a roadbike in about a min- and they are a real pain. Actually over the years it has been worthwhile- and all my friends show up when they have a couple of wheels to do.
Otherwise practice and a tire iron will work fine

Ah, that's the ticket! Just ordered one. It will easily pay for itself by not having to buy replacement tubes... not to mention improved mood, no more thumb blisters or heart attack/aneurism/stroke, etc.

We have six bikes for our family of three. It will get plenty of use.
