“I purchased this set in store. Brought it home and the *majority* of what I do I need an 8mm bit for so I was all set. They work fine, not great, not awful. They wander if you're a little too aggressive in the drill press. The problem came when I tried to make my first pen, which required a 7mm bit. To my surprised, they included a 2nd 6.5mm bit in lieu of a 7mm bit and just put it in the indexed spot for a 7mm bit. Took me *forever* to figure out what the problem was. Considering that the 3 most common sizes I need are 7, 8 and 10mm, that makes this set significantly less useful.”

“I purchased this set because it was one of the few metric bit sets I saw anywhere locally. I kept having trouble drilling out my 7mm pens and for the life of me couldn't figure out why. Turns out they shipped me 2 6.5mm bits instead of a 6 and a 7. They just put the extra 6.5 in the slot for the 7 and I failed to notice. Other than that it's an ok set of bits, wouldn't write home to mom about them, but can't poo-poo them either.”

“I am a novice woodworker so I can only speak from a limited perspective. Having said that, I do know how to use a drill press and which bits are best for the correct material. Last night I used one of the small bits to drill pilot holes into rosewood. The 3.5 mm bit bent into about a 25-30 degree angle with the second hole and nearly damaged the wood. I was very surprised to say the least as it was the first time using these bits. For the cost, I am dismayed. I would consider adding brad points one-by-one until I have a better collection. Will be much more costly but you get what you pay for. I do not recommend these bits, not even for the price. I would recommend Woodcraft eliminating them given the poor quality.”
