Good idea but handle with care
This is a brilliant idea, I've read elsewhere that they don't come with instructions but it's not rocket science to figure out that the books fold in half and go into the frame...
My only reservation is how durable they'll be because the books are very thin fragile-feeling plastic and I suspect they'll need careful handling when full of soil and plants to avoid splits or other damage. Also the plastic is so thin that several of the books have holes, presumably blown during the moulding process but this doesn't stop them being used (hence my ticking 'no' under "Is it good quality").
Probably a good idea to store them out of the light so they last longer?
I bought 3 sets so thats 96 plants on a 27" x 15" shelf and I'll probably buy more so I can grow a lot of seeds in a comparatively small space.

Money well spent
I had some big bolts to do up and had a choice, hire one locally at £27 a day or send off for one of these at £40 so it was a bit of a no-brainer.
Comes with a record of calibration from when it was assembled and is packed in a good plastic box - the hinges, catches, box & lid are all moulded in one piece so it will come apart one day but I don't think this is too much to worry about.
My only gripe is that it's not marked in lb/ft, only Nm and kg/m but they do include sheets of conversion tables.
I can't comment on the long term durability or accuracy but based on what I've done so far, its accurate, easy to use and I'd recommend it - probably worth considering laminating the paper conversion tables if like me, you're going to be doing lb/ft work.

Not overly impressed.
The handles are comfortable to use but the black finish on the tips is quite thick and hard and comes off really easily the first time they're used. It's more like a hard coating that's chipped off and I hoping the metal underneath proves to be properly hardened...
The shafts are "springy", especially noticeable on the smaller pozi & phllips head so the tip turns less than the handle when tightening screws - maybe this is a design feature but it's not something I like.
The shaft fits into a hole in the hexagon (which I'm guessing is in one piece with the bolster) so I do wonder if they'd stand up to being hammered?
Not cheap for a set and they don't inspire confidence that they're built to last but they do the job.
Probably wouldn't buy them a
