I agree that some items are made for just separating the money from your wallet. But the B.A.D. lever is not one of them. I have been shooting AR's for a while and I am at least 1/2 sec. faster on a reload than the guy without it. Now with that said, I'm not in the Military fighting the Taliban, but on a training course on a Police range, that 1/2 sec. can mean life or death in a CQB situation. Again you have to train, train, train with it to become efficient, so just adding the lever isn't going to fix the lack of training... Do your homework and pick what works.. Keep an eye on the snake oil out there for sure...
