Mislabelled garbage. for mechanical and hand tools

Not metric but approximately inches. There are no size markings on the bits themselves. Sharpening is also very poor: the saw's peripheral teeth are rounded, the edging and beveling knives are rough, with bent and rolled wire edges. I can't imagine selling them as tools.

Pros
  • Manufactured from high performance alloy steel (SP).
Cons
  • disappears

Attention: 16 sets of metric and imperial fractional bits with the same code

Revain has problems encoding 16-bit metric and imperial fractions, which are encoded in exactly the same way. I have just received a set of UK fractions for the third time in a row when I originally ordered a set of metric units. They always went above and beyond to fix the problem but didn't do it. Hours spent chatting, emailing and calling and they still can't fix the situation. The last customer service rep said she took it off the shelf until the problem was fixed, which she said shouldโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Available in the following diameters: 1/4" - 3/8" - 1/2" - 5/8" - 3/4" - 7 /8" - 1" - 1-1/8" - 1-1/4" - 1-3/8" - 1-1/2" - 1/5/8" - 1 /3/4" - 1-7/8" - 2" - 2-1/8".
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

You laugh? for power tools and hand tools

When I first started woodworking I bought a $20 forest net set and used them for years. Now many of them are burned and unusable. I decided to spend a few bucks for a quality set. Unfortunately, I chose the CMT brand. I had a 1 1/8 inch size in my cheap set that was never used and did a comparison to the same size new set I just bought. The chisel drilled a hole with only a small burr at the top of the hole faster, with less effort and less heat. The CMT chisel created a significant protrusionโ€ฆ

Pros
  • For clean, sharp, straight-sided, flat-bottomed holes in all types of softwood.
Cons
  • Slightly torn
