Works well. in Fixings

I have not yet attached the head to the body of the rocking horse, but my test pieces were accurate and smooth. One tip is to make sure the ring is in place on the drill. I had to wiggle it and tighten it to get the hex screw to go deep into the threads. Besides, it was child's play.

Pros
  • Durable Finish
Cons
  • Damaged

Not the best for pins

Only cost me $7 and definitely not worth a dime when it's that much. Luckily I already have a good set of bit grips, otherwise I would be rather dissatisfied. The drill bit isn't of very high quality, of course, but it drilled holes well enough. The pens are fine. I've used all of them and haven't had any problems. Haven't tried centering pins yet, but I expect they will be fine too. So apart from the collar, which is pretty important, everything is fine. I wouldn't buy it again. You'll be…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Right size for my application

I used these dowels to attach a mortise and tenon joint for a 4" x 6" Douglas fir pole to a 1 3/4" mahogany base I like to use when drilling dowels to sharpen the bit so the bit doesn't dangle inside the locking ring, not outside.I have General Tools dowel sets for 1/4" and 5/16" and haven't had this problem Other than that I had no other problems have the same size and a sharp drill bit.

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
