I have one and use it all the time when doing HST. Saves a lot of time for me.

I have used one for a long time and love it. I keep it in the pocket of my sewing machine pad so it is always on hand. Great for marking 1/2 sq. triangles.

I agree with Compulsive Quilter. One diagonal line and 1/4 inch foot is all I need.

Is it accurate? Do you like it?

Should I buy one? lol

I just prefer to use my regular ruler. I already have many in the sizes I need and all the lines ensure accuracy. I always found working with that smaller ruler harder due to it's small size.
