This takes a teeny bit of trial and error to get just the right distance, but you have a lot more control and ability to fine-tune than with the barrel adjusters. It's also pretty easy, but even easier if you can recruit an assistant (one person holds the brake calipers/cable and the other person loosens/tightens the allen bolt).
The "assistant" is called a third hand. Or an old toe straps usually works. These devices are known to save friendships.
