Deploying code review tools to developers helps the throughput of a code review team by helping to identify and hopefully remove most of the common and simple coding mistakes prior to a security consultant viewing the code.

This methodology improves developer knowledge, and the security consultant can spend time looking for more abstract vulnerabilities.
