Its just an adjustment tool. You can do the same thing at home with a carpenters metal retractable tape measure which you probably don't need to buy.
Does it work? Yes, but its still just a focusing target when you get right down to it.
I bought one to check all my new Canon lenses just to see how they were. I saw some improvement on every lens so I would say it works well and was worth it. From what I have heard you can do it with a simple ruler as MT mentioned but the key is to get the target (your zero point on the ruler) and the sensor perfectly parallel. The Lens Align has a nifty gizmo that makes it pretty easy by aligning an orange target in a little hole. Once that is done your off and running. Another thing to remember is that your camera needs to have the ability to micro-adjust lenses, not all of them do
