There are a few interesting reviews on amazon, particularly from those who have some of the sets you mention ( plus the hard copy set is for nearly $3000!)

Thx for info ukfraser it was good enough to make a buy and not disappointed in it. Very readable to average layman "ME" and complements other commentaries in that respect.

"…the series of commentaries by William Hendriksen (NTC). Eight volumes were produced: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans, Galatians-Ephesians, Philippians-Colossians-Philemon, and Thessalonians-Timothy-Titus (BoT, mostly OP; Baker, OP). Hendriksen is self-consciously orthodox and Reformed. Although his comments are often helpful to the expositor, the verbosity of his style and the selectivity of his interaction with alternative interpretations demand that he be supplemented with other works. Nevertheless, his concern for practical application can make his work useful to some preachers. In the wake of Hendriksen's death, Simon Kistemaker agreed to complete the series, and all the volumes have now appeared (Baker). On the British side, only two volumes were picked up, both by Evangelical Press: the one on Hebrews, and the one on James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude. On the whole, his work is solid but not incisive, with the result that there are usually better alternatives."

 
Carson—New Testament commentary survey (7e)
 
"NTC NEW TESTAMENT COMMENTARY. (Baker). Often called "Hendriksen" after William Hendriksen (1900–82) who began the project, NTC was steadily and carefully brought to completion by Simon Kistemaker of RTS. The final issue, Revelation, appeared in 2001. Most students have a settled opinion about the worth of these vols. Several criticisms could be leveled (particularly at Hendriksen): they tend to be verbose, lack rigor in their grammatical and exegetical observations, jump too quickly from the text to systematic theology concerns, may pack individual words with too much theological freight, and sometimes are not so good in filling out the broader historical context. But their good points outweigh their faults. These commentaries directly serve the preacher in their full expositional style. They are distinctively Reformed, conservative, and reasonably well-grounded in their scholarship. One reviewer sums things up this way: "what it lacks in theological profundity and ethical richness it makes up for with clarity and thoroughness" (Padgett). The publisher appears to have let the 12-vol. series go o/p. [P]"

These were my first commentaries 30 years ago and still remain mostly unread, I have nearly the complete set, all the Hendriksen volumes but only one by Kistemaker.

I recently thought about getting them in Accordance but decided against it.
