Pros & Cons
Pros
Lightweight, sturdy and threads easily on and off. It screws in snugly and smoothly but does not over-screw easily. The knurling on the ring makes it easy to grip during installation and removal.
The wax keeps things smooth. Chapstick works the best for me. Great product from breakthrough products.
Works great for adapting my ef-s 35 2. Is stm macro lens to a nikon es-1 slide copier. My largest lense is 82mm sigma art 24-70 f2. All my 82mm filters fit smoothly.
Cons
The only way to remove them is by dousing them in wd-40 and then taking apart the nd filter, cleaning it, and then reassembling it.

But after about 15 seconds of fiddling i got it off ok with no need to resort to using the equivalent of an oil filter wrench for an automotive oil filter which is a great way to get a stuck filter unstuck
