The only way you can know if these tools will help make the stress binding easier on you is to use them. Do you know anyone who uses them that can help you or a guild that may be near you. Try your LQS and talk to them about what you think your difficulty is and if the tools would help and a good shop will even demonstrate the tools for you. It will help you decide. In the end it is not a big expense to try them and you might find you like them.
