Good quality at a great price.
This product is good quality and MUCH cheaper than getting feeler gauges from a luthier shop.
I like that fact that they show measurements in both inches and mm, which is something you don't get with feeler gauges from US luthier shops.
My only complaint is that there's simply too many feeler gauges in the set! I could easily get by with half as many thicknesses and some of the thinnest ones aren't really useful for guitars. This set doesn't really feel like a guitar specific product. But I guess it's kinda silly to complain about getting too much for the money!
Actually, there one more thing. I wish they were a little longer. But they work fine, just slightly fiddly in some situations so it's not really a big deal.
Highly recommended!

Product properly priced
It may not be the highest shelf of luthier tools, but for this price everything is in place. Edges properly sanded, do not hook. slightly too much preserved with oil, you need to spend a while to unpreserve :)

What do you mean too oily?
Some say they are very oily. Better that than rusty ones, believe me. Keep them oily and stored in the case they come with and they will last.
Good quality set of feeler gauges, there are more gauges than you'll probably use, and for this price it's a bargain (in Portugal they are ridiculously expensive, rust prone -Ah, the oil...- and the quantity of gauges available is usually less.
If you think "I don't need this!" just give this set a try and you will use it more often than you think.

Amazing for the setups I am doing, can't live without it.
My product had some oil everywhere so I had to clean it. Not sure if that's how feeler gauges are supposed to be.

Perfect
For the price, What would you ask for more ?
Perfect for what it's suposed to do.
A bit oily. But remember it's below 30 Euros, while a complete set of Ibanez would cost you betwen 100 to 400 Euros.

Right for the job
Carefully crafted tool, good workmanship, offered at a honest price.
I already had one but with only the mm scale. The added inches scale is useful for following set-up indications starting from the indications of American luthiers.
The steps of the different measuring blades offer the possibility for measurements beyond any need for a guitar or bass.
The oil that protects the tool in its packaging can be easily cleaned with paper towels, not a problem at all.

Well, they are feelers!
I setup my instuments myself so I always need feelers especially when I adjust the truss rods (relief measurments).
I know many complain about the amount of oil they come with and they are kinda right.
I've bought several feeler gauges, some were 4 times the price of these, ALL of them came with oil applied to them.
Why? To prevent corrosion.
And from the moment you clean them up and start using them the clock is ticking, it's just a matter of time.
All in all, just clean the feelers you'll be using the most, leave the rest as they are, and don't forget to at least wipe the ones you use after you're done (to clean them from sweat, body fluids etc. that will accelerate the corrosion)
