What do ya'll think of the Grover locking tuners?

I need to replace some mini Grover Rotomatic tuners on a Les Paul and was considering the Grover locking tuners. I've never used locking tuners before. Anybody have any experience with them? What do you think?

Grovers go great with Gibsons.

I agree.  I've tried the locking ones, and they're not quite as easy as they sound, they do work really well.  I think the problem I had with them is that I would take the already clipped short strings off and then put them back on.  That doesn't work very well.  But if you're stringing up with brand new strings, they make it a snap.

I have Grover mini locking tuners on my partscaster. I like 'em.

Installed them on my Washburn Idol. Work great.
