I've found they work pretty well. Not 100%, but high 90's in my experience. Even though I think they work "good enough", I generally prefer to use the skewer method myself. No matter how much I think I'm "planning" thoroughly, I always find myself needing one where I didn't put one, not using one I did put, etc... The limiting factor, for me, is that you have to deal with fixed locations. So for me, the low-tech solution is better because I can uncouple anywhere, any time. Now the day they get effective "remote uncoupling couplers" going, I'll be the first to start converting all my locos and rolling stock. I'd love being able to grab my throttle, select car number ____ and the punch "uncouple rear", for example.
