I thought these kits were pricey for what they are, then used one in a guitar building class and had to get it. It's great to have on the bench while doing assembly and setup. Everything is right there, saving time and taking less space than the individual tools.The big selling point for me is the handle for the bit kit. Seems gimmicky having the nut driving section, but it's actually quite genius. You can tighten tuners without scratching the hardware (especially black hardware). The Allen bits being small enough for saddle height screws is impressive. Even the spanner has a soft rubber bottom to avoid finish scratches.The measuring tools are solid and not as sharp as the cheapo ones you find here. The budget ones work fine but can scratch finishes if you're not careful.The truss rod kit is great just because of the acorn nut wrenches. I fell in love with those early on when I ordered them individually. The Phillips head on the bottom is perfect for truss rod covers.The kit's not cheap, but if you do setup and/or assembly regularly it's worth the price of admission. Definitely recommend the bit kit over the StewMac one because of the handle. It's nice to have more options for premium guitar tools, and Music Nomad hasn't disappointed me yet.

To get the most out of these products you should watch the Music Nomad “KISS†(keep it simple stupid) YouTube videos. They explain step-by-step how to use all the tools. I would give 5 stars but I do feel that this is over priced for what it is

Overall looks good quality - although perhaps a bit pricey for what it is.Main disappointment is that I'm missing the entire truss rod wrench set!They didn't send it out with the others.After waiting 2 weeks for delivery this is really disappointing

Very clear instructions on how to setup your guitars. Can save some money to do the simple setup on my own and only sending the more complicated jobs to a Luthier

Combined with Music Nomad’s excellent instructional videos on YouTube, this set gave me the confidence to start setting up my arsenal of guitars. In Australia, a standard setup costs around $100+. It didn’t take long for this bundle to pay for itself, and I have the satisfaction of maintaining my own guitars. While on the expensive side, the set has been well thought-out in terms of gauge visibility, sizing for different brands and models, and it is very small and portable. For the travelling band, it’s great to take on the road. While I had previously purchased cheaper bits and pieces for guitar setups, I hadn’t had the confidence to use them. The Music Nomad bundle and its associated videos gave me that confidence. Sure, you can find cheaper products but this bundle has everything, in a very compact format.
