  Made my own a few years ago, and then didn't use it for a while so I gave it to my son in law ( stupid thing to do, now he wont give it back).  So I purchased one of those small sets (about 300mm long) off ebay and they are as useless as tits on a bull.  They might roll tin foil but thats about it, so if you are considering buying a set I would give those little ones a miss just not worth the trouble.
