Review on πŸ”§ 16 Piece Roman Carbide DC1917 Forstner Set by Anferny Pineda

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Most bits work very well; bad packaging.

GOOD: These are quality bits that cut clean and hold firmly in the chuck. up to 5/8 inch bits. THE BAD: The smallest bits (1/2", 3/8" and 1/4") don't cut cleanly. They cause a lot of tearing as they penetrate the wood. I believe this is because they are constructed differently to the larger bits. This can be seen enlarged in the photo. They just don't have enough cutting edge to start the hole cleanly. So 13 out of 16 bits work well. As other reviews have said, the packaging is rubbish It's made from the thinnest and thinnest plywood I've ever seen Plus the bits just sit in their sockets so nothing is holding them in place so when you open the box the bits move everywhere I personally made a slot in the closet for these bits and threw the box in the bin RESULT: 13 out of 16 bits are great 3 don't work well and the box is useless but the 13 bits that are good are pretty good which is why I gave it 4 stars overall.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
