Hughes main stud girdle - yes or no

I know a couple of builders that say they are a real hassle to install correctly, very time consuming. U can do more harm than good if not done correctly. I guess it depends on ur budget. If it’s not at least 1/2 in thick they r a waist of time. Kim
The way they are made, they can only restrain the caps from tilting forward and backwards. They don't have any real strength vertically or in twist.
