First, this is definitely not 'frustration-free' packaging. In fact, there's a reasonable chance you'll slice your hand with a razor knife or the sharp edges of the plastic. Keep a First-Aid station nearby.
So what do the made-in-China components look like? Cheap.
Are the parts marked as shown in the poorly-written instructions? No. Further, if they'd put the pages for each language together, it'd be easier to read and you could toss two-thirds of the clumsy booklet.
It's nice that the not-too-common bit [1/2D w 5/8 bearing on a 1/4 shaft] and corner chisel are included. Owing to the depth of the templates' sidewall, the deepest pocket you'll be able to rout will be ~ 0.250" ... but most hinge installs require 0.090". The baseplate of your router will sit approx 0.80" above the worksurface.
I do not like the fact that you will have to screw into edges that will be visible to secure the template in place; I prefer clamping actions.
The centering pilot drill for the screw holes requires a lot of lubrication to get it to start moving.

This kit contains all of the tools that I need to do a professional job installing hinges onto doors, and door frames. It also has the templates needed to cut the mortises for strip plates. The system is easy to use. The instructions are clear and simple. The kit includes the center drill tool to drill perfect holes for hinges, and the square chisel to cut out the corners for the hinges. There are so many pieces to this kit, that I wish that it came with some kind of storage box or bag to keep it all together in.
IT’s everything you need the related tools are quality and the finished product is professional. I’m very impressed!

Router bit continued to chew through the plastic guards. It was easier to draw what I needed and used a router tool, that was actually cheaper than this kit.
