I have never used a handcrank to start a Ford V8, but I do find them useful to turn the engine when setting valve clearances. Of course, there are plenty of other ways to turn an engine by hand as well.

I use the crank for winter storage. I think better to turn it over by crank than run it and have cold/hot condensation forming, especially in the exhaust. Keeps me warm as a side benefit.
