Review on Bastex Forstner 16 Piece Precision Woodworking Set: The Ultimate Tool Kit for Woodworkers by Mike Rice

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not sharp! on drills

The first drill I used was a 1 1/8 inch and it was dull! I'm using a drill press and the drill bit won't cut. When I look at the chisel I can clearly see that the cutting edge is not sharp. I am extremely disappointed! I want to say that I drill plywood and pine boards like I make birdhouses. I will return this set. I do NOT recommend. I didn't buy the cheapest set. I thought I'd buy a decent set. I know I can get a $40 set from Home Depot.

Pros
  • PRECISION: sharpened for intensive use and easy to resharpen. Can enlarge existing holes very easily and drill circles of different sizes. The hex shank ensures these bits are held securely in your drill press or power drill.
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
