Review: Great performance at a great value - The price point for this set is extremely reasonable for the quality and selections of bits. I just completed a fairly large project which required numerous holes of various sizes in 3/4" and 1/2" plywood. Each bit performed well - they are all well balanced, cut cleanly, and are still sharp. This is a great set!
