I will not buy drill bits from this company again.

Would Not Recommend

I was drilling holes for stair spindles. I had driven only 6 holes and the bit was too dull to continue. I was drilling into oak, a hard wood. But 6 holes and dull?

Future use

Haven’t used the product yet. The stars are for hack g to find an associate who had to search stock above the bag where they were supposed to be at on display.

Don’t expect quick holes. Not meant for that.

Would Recommend

Seems to be decent quality for when I need precise holes drilled in wood. These are way more precise than spade or auger bits. Looking forward to getting a lot of use out of this kit.

convenient kit, common sizes,

Would Recommend

nice case to hold the bits, a little pricey for what they are. there were three sets to choose from, all of them were previously used, wiped off and put back on the shelf. the bit i really needed was pretty dull. kinda common with most sets like these forester bits and some hole saw kits, just is what it is

Great Product!

Would Recommend

I kept buying individual sizes as needed This set took care of that issue. They are very well made, durable and stay sharp. I've used 4 of the 8 already and they worked perfectly. I wish I would have seen this long before now. The case is sturdy, keeps them all in one place and protects my investment.
