Ok I don't want to be a stick in the mud here, nonetheless...
I have seen this set before and even thought about buying it. I have a few different Wera sets and they are great.
However, this set as a window installers set must be some sort of EU or UK thing. I've installed more windows than I care to remember and never needed any set like this.
Maybe some of you overseas guys can chime in how this is a window installers set.

My guess is the allen keys (hex plus) and the joker wrench (hinge opening angle) are necessary if you work on any turn-tilt.  The noodle screw driver's nice though for any window.

I'm curious as well. None of the tilt and turn I worked on had anything for a wrench or ratchet. Allen keys for tuning, sure.

Mostly just used the manufacturer provided metal bar to take the window sash out; depending on the manufacturer just a flat head works as well

Edit:  I see what they do with the flex driver in the photo. That's neat but usually you don't adjust those that much or very often.

Complete mystery to me, too. Maybe aimed at guys who install some kind of pre-hung metal-framed windows in new-build apartment tower blocks, offices or other large modern constructions? I know there are some pretty hi-tech, space-age products and glazing systems out there.

Way outside my sphere of experience for sure - but beautiful tools as always from Wera.

Most people only need the allens to adjust reveal.  Some mfgs (eg Siegenia) use standard hex head bolts though for the pressure/cam adjustments.  Some like EuroLine will use a hex nut to raise/lower the cam head - where a wrench or deep socket is required.

As for stays *more casement than tilt-turn, have adjustments inside where the hinge meets rail.

We are not sure how many window installers will buy this either, but definitely see the general appeal of this set.

I would say that Festool's "installers set" has a similar mis-naming thing.
How are Centrotech driver tips and drill bits "installer tools"? Sure, they might use them, but it's hardly exclusive to them. Seems more like a "drill-driver accessory set"
