I like them

So far so good no complaints

Works Great

I would recommend these bits 100%. I picked them up and put them to work with in an hr of getting home, used them on Cedar and Oak. Performed great, for the price point I would buy again...

Did then job

Not sure how long that’s will last but the price is great considering I’ll only use them a few times. Used them with a drill press for stair newel posts and the holes in my banisters l for my pintop balusters.

Excellent bits

I looked at several different brands and found that these were made exceptionally well for the price. I have used these in both hand drill and drill press with no problem.

forsner bits

good quality case and bits good price I like that they have them in a set instead of having to buy each one separately which would probably cost more if you had to buy each one I have been looking for something like this I have had a set of those speed bits but they don't work as well as these and when you're drilling a hole the flat buts tend to not make a good clean hole and these will and you can drill at an angle the flat speed bits you can't

Excellent hole drilling bits

It is so nice having a full set of forstner drill bits. They work much better than the spade drill bits. These bits do cost more than the spade bits, but the quality is so much better and the cost really is not bad at all.

great addition-Forstner set

The only reason I'm not giving this set 5 stars is that I would like to see a squared end for absolute secure chucking in drill press. Other than that it offers a wide range of sizes, cuts are true and clean.

I have used these a few times on a drill press. No complaints thus far, happy with it.

Decent Forstener Bits

I used these bits to pile through some 1/2” poplar plywood with red oak vernier. I needed to drill 1-1/4” holes for a wooden dowel. The bits tend to clog if you don’t give enough pressure, but I wasn’t using a drillpress and I was surprised how well these did in a hand-held battery powered drill. Some cleaning with a pic and I was able to continue. I had significant chip-out from these bits on the back of the ply, but using a backer-board I was able to eliminate the chip-out entirely. These fo...

Great Value

Needed these bits for a father and son Christmas project. Couldn’t be happier with the quality and value of the bits. They were used on logs to build “Log Christmas Reindeer”. Sharp, easy to use and held an edge throughout the project. Can’t wait to use them again.

Woah!

These work great. Cut smoothly and make a clean round hole

clean holes

A nice set of Forstner bits in a handy case. Much cleaner holes for finish work.

Good Set

This is a good solid set of boring bits. The only drawback is that they have a tendency to get clogged when drilling into pine.

Great drill bits

Needed the bits for cupboards. Wasnt sure what size. This was awesome to find the right size with out spending on several different bits. And the case is nice to keep all the bits protected. Was a gift and he was thrilled with it. Theyre a perfect shop accesory with so many versatile uses.

Useful tools for the shop

Works like described. Good selection of bits in this pack. Great for getting nice clean cut, flat holes.
