I have one that I have been using off and on for two years now. I liked it so much I purchased one as a gift for a buddy. When I've been at a class I have to constantly remind myself to actually rotate through my magazines instead of just using the same 4-6 over and over again. The nifty thing about it is it works just as well with loose ammo as it does for rounds loaded on clips.
Physically it should fit in a 3-cell flashlight pouch or a double stack mag pouch. I can dig it out and do some checking if you like.
The two problems I have seen:
It doesn't get along well with lancer magazines. The bodies, or more precisely the area supporting the feed lips, tends to spread too easily. When attempting to charge the loading tool would typically pop off the body.
It is possible to induce a malfunction with this tool. This has happened to me at an EAG class in OK last year and again at a range session. It appears to be caused by the rounds being jammed into the mag too quickly. The first time this happened it was rounds 4-5, in the picture below it is 1-2. My understanding is a similar problem can be created by 'jam loading' magazines with stripper clips, a stripper clip guide and hip thrusting said mag, stripper and guide against the edge of a table.
