Excellent bit of kit that I didn't know I needed
I only have 1 working hand and loading film into my Barnack Leicas is always something I had to do sat down at a table, for fear of fumbling and dropping an expensive spool. This device allows me to load the camera by simply dropping the film cannister in one side and pressing the leader into the prongs. I loaded 2 films with the camera hung around my neck and no danger of dropping anything. You still need to trim the leader to be safe, but that can be done in advance.
This gadget has improved my Leica experience enormously

Found an appropriate tool for trim and load film properly
For older cameras such as Leica I, II or III, the only way not to damage the camera is trim the film. So Ausgeknipst's trimmer (ablon) is an exllent solution for that. Also, their Spool is very convenient to load the film. In conclusion, I am satisfied with the quality and price of the products. If you find the price burdensome to buy the original, I highly recommend Ausgeknipst's products (both of them).
