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…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance

Beware of this one from stock

Picked this up as a stock sale thinking I wouldn't mind if there were some imperfections to save money.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • fragile

There was a UPS shipping label on the outside and that was it. When I received the package (it was on my doorstep) and when I opened it, the wooden storage box was broken and the pieces were scattered inside. The foam covered center piece had

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
