When I first got these router bits I was a bit disappointed with their looks. They're not impressive in the way they're packaged, and the metalwork isn't the highest quality I've seen. But still I wanted to see how it cuts. So I immediately went to my workshop and got to work. To be honest I was shocked at how well they did it. Well, I wouldn't use them on hardwoods, but these bits did a great job when working with whitewood and pine. I've used one nozzle for about 50 feet of work and it's still holding up well. My initial goal was to buy a similar set, see which ones I really like, and then replace the ones I use the most with something better. So far I haven't had to buy any new beats and have owned them for quite some time. I wouldn't recommend them for regular users, but for casual use, they turned out to be better than expected.
