The hook makes snagging that ONE friggen wire you need out of a busy box or panel simple and quick. If you look there is 2 hooks, one on each end, and they are shaped differently. The one that looks like it would be better definitely is - and that's all there is to it.
The pusher makes being a lazy dirt bag and shoving all those wires in a junction box with out damaging the insulation easy. While you're doing this you might even decide to use the other features of this device and be a craftsman for once. It actually is pretty useful for jamming wires to fit certain devices in shallow boxes nicely and somewhat neat, I'm talking to you GFCI in the elevator pit of medical city Dallas. I still remember.
The wire bender is also notable, although not used terribly often. This is more for the pretty work we do. Panels come to mind using this you can bend wires into neat little 90° bends and it looks pretty sharp. If you take pride in your work you will like having this. It also can speed up your panel time as you can actually run the length of the wire bending it as you go. To explain this you can start with this tool on the wire at the branch conduit (or romex... If that's your thing..) and then guide the wire along the path you want it to go, bending the wire along the way. When you reach its destination you just snip it, strip it, and land it. Boom. It quick and looks like a machine did it. Although this tool is made for #12 it will also fit #10 somewhat comfortably.
The loop maker is OK but your strippers are probably a better bet. The strippers are already gonna be in your hand when you're making loops anyway.
The B cap twister is nice but because the tool is long it makes twisting wire nuts in panels and boxes difficult so I don't use it often. Anyway, I'm a man and my fingers aren't made of glass so I'll survive.
It honestly does make manipulating wire much easier and the learning curve is surprisingly small. There are some tricks I've picked up from using it but out of the box you will notice improvements to your work.
