I swapped out the original Harley Benton tuners for these and while I had to drill the holes bigger to make them fit, which I hadn't expected, I did get them installed and the guitar stays in tunes fairly well.
I particularly like the sturdy feel of these tuners and how smooth they are to turn. The locking feature is really nice as well, although I think there's some sharp edges in there as I managed to snap the first string when I tightened the lock too much, but I haven't had that issue since and I've used them for around a year now.
They're not flawless, but at this price point I don't think you can beat these as they are really quite nice and work as advertised.

Good upgrade
I installed these to Harley Benton ST-62 and it was an easy swap, no drilling or reaming needed, just remove the screws, swap the tuners and put screws back. Compared to the original tuners these feel orders of magnitude better. Tuning is more precise and holds better and swapping strings is very easy. You can tighten the string with 5 eurocent coin which is also a downside, I would prefer using some real tool like screwdriver, but the gap is slightly too wide for that. Also I prefer closed type tuners to these because these produce some resonance by vibrating against the metal ferrule. But all in all, a very recommended upgrade for vintage style tuners with ~8mm holes.

Blew me away.
These are possible the single best low-budget set of locking tuners I've tried, and I've tried a lot. No string slippage, great tuning action, easy to install. These really are stellar and I could happily recommend them to anyone.

locking
great but i do not like the system on top of the tuner where you have to use a coin or screwdriver , it is just to narrow, and nothing fits that wel... i think it is for the vintage looks but they better change that system with the slith a little more deeper or a tool included to use on that

Best tuners for the money
For what you pay, get them. I've put them on two guitars and they work fantastically well, absolutely no issues.

Very good for a nice price
Not the best tuners ever, but for this price, really good. Easy to install and pretty solid for keeping the tuning.
Holes fit in original Fender holes.
My recommendation, for a budget, hard you can get any better, as far as I know.

Does the job
So far they work as expected. Tuning stability has improved and when tuning it's very smooth. That being said, there's not much to choose when it comes to vintage style tuners with a locking mechanism. Maybe the hipshot ones, but they are way over more expensive.

Do what they need to very well
Got these for a Harley Benton Tele as i just wanted to upgrade to locking tuners.
All i can say is they are well worth the money appear to be very good quality fit well, and do just what they say. tuning is spot on and smooth operation. If i had need of this design of tuner again i wouldn't hesitate to buy more.
As ever Thomann service spot on

Perfect!
Direct replacement in my 2011 MIM Telecaster Deluxe. String change is now less of a hassle and tuning stability is really there!

A Revelation!
I've always been a bit skeptical about Locking tuners, but when I was putting together a DIY telecaster I thought I'd give them a shot. Genuine Klusons for 47Euro (including postage) why not. I was not disappointed. They hold tuning perfectly! Easy to use! and they look the business! I'll definitely be ordering another set for my J mascis jazzmaster.
