Very good
I kinda like this kid, though that's not to say it's perfect.

First, I like the idea of magnetic filters. If you need to switch quickly between multiple ND filters in a session, and you don't want the bulk of square filters that can be slotted in and out, a magnetic setup makes a lot of sense. The filters are held securely to the lens, but they're not difficult to pop off when needed.

The downside is that with the screw on ring attached I can't use my lens cap, which is a bit of a pain if I'm on the move. In certain circumstances that would leave me back at square one, needing to unscrew the ring before I make a move, defeating the object of the kit.

If you're not all that mobile when you're shooting this is a very useful kit. If you know you'll need to use your lens cap regularly, maybe not so much.
