Seduced by the name?
3 of 4 found this helpful Don't get me wrong, these are nice tuning machines and perfect if you are looking to replace like for like or are creating a bass to Fender specifications.
The first problem i encountered was that the grommets were too big for the holes pre-drilled in my Mighty Mite Licensed by Fender neck. Extra drilling was required which wasn't as easy as it sounds
I bought 4 of these for a project. 3 of them were perfect... the other was poorly machined and did not work. The post was slightly wobbly as the washer wasn't enough to tighten it to the key plate - once the string put the post under tension it was grinding on the grommet and causing the key to be severely stiff. I spotted the problem and fashioned an addition washer out of some thin plastic I had lying around and this solved the problem.
The other issue I had was with one of the small screws to mount the machine to the neck. With it screwed in about 3/4 of the way the head sheared off the screw leaving me with the threaded screw stuck in my head stock with no way of getting it out - I had to drill around the screw leaving a huge mess in my head stock which had to be filled with wood filler - not ideal. It was the second of the screws I had used - no surprise that I threw the rest away and used some other screws I had lying around.
I have managed to end up with a fully working set of tuning machines - it was just hard work!
With hindsight I wish I had opted for Gotoh or Hipshot.

Good value upgrade on cheap generic parts
Added some real depth of tone to my 2004 Gibson Melody Maker - replacing the tiny cheap ceramic capacitor really opened up the tone of the guitar.
