I have the same Euro lock disassembly kit, I bought it from DealExtreme earlier this year. The circlip removal tool's soft plastic cover immediately came off and had to be super glued back on. Also the pincer tool for keeping the driver pins in place needed some sanding on the part that contacts the pins. This is because Kale Kilit and other Turkish manufacturers seem to make a point of using almost razor-thin keyways, probably to enhance pick resistance (which works pretty well until you get used to the keyway).

Other than those two minor inconveniences I say it is a great kit. Personally I would rate it as 9/10. Well worth the money and highly recommended :)
If you do not manipulate the lock, then the lock will manipulate you
