It works so much better than the old way of cutting individual pins but PLEASE be careful when you trim the sewing pins, they are hardened and will fly off like projectiles
Also please don't use your hobby cutters, use wire cutters, you will break your hobby cutters. Otherwise it's so easy and quick.

This is my technique for assembling Friul tracks which I love. The down side to the kit is the wire for the pins; I have been using glass head extra fine sewing pins instead and it works much faster.
I build a jig which often fits many different types of tracks. The jig is made out of scrap styrene although I have a wide variety of styrene strips so I can build this very snug.
The jig helps hold the tracks firm because the pins take a little push; do not push too hard or they will go right out the other side. If that happens, back it up a little.
