Shouldn't you be practicing?

This, I cannot understand. The variation in measuring camber from the outside of the wheel to the hub can be massive (I have seen upwards of 4* difference between the outside of the wheel and the setup station readings on a VTA tire). The setup station goes where my car goes, and if I hit the wall with any force, or it feels funny, it goes on the setup station to check. Setup board as well as ride height gauges, droop blocks, and while I carry balance pins, I also carry a full balance station as well.
The only reason I would ever suggest not bringing a setup station is because you do not have one, and you can borrow one from someone else. Otherwise, it goes everywhere the car goes.
How do you make toe adjustments? Ruler? While it is possible, I sure do not see the advantage, especially when you have the proper tools.
