Would RecommendDuring the Corona Virus shelter-in-place, one of the projects I'm doing to keep busy is building a Murphy bed. I checked my stash of drill bits and discovered I only had one Forstner bit, an Irwin product. Only made sense to order this set to use through my project. Price was right and now I have a set of bits to cover a wide-range of hole sizes!

Works like a tool should
Would RecommendI like the variety of sizes available. It enabled me to use them for different projects. Just wish it had a 1 1/8" size.

The right tool for the job
Would RecommendThis was a tool I didn’t have in my tool box and really needed for a project that a spade bit wouldn’t be delicate enough for. Fixing a live edge counter where mistakes can’t be made.

Great product, silly pricing
Would RecommendI have no issues whatsoever with the product, but the pricing scheme is silly. I needed just one specific size forstner bit for a table I was building, that one bit by itself was 1/3 the price of the entire 8 bit pack. So now I have 7 buts that I might use one day, maybe, but I really would have preferred the single bit if it had been priced even at 1/5 the price for all eight.

Does the Job
Would RecommendI used one bit to help me install some hinges. Great cutting action and easy to control the depth. It even cut through a hardened surface with ease.

Needed it, bought it, used it.
Would RecommendNeeded to drill a hole in a piece of wood into which I wanted to sink a bolt head. Bought the set because I will probably need to do something similar again for different size bolt heads.
