Based on a one star review I visited my local Woodcraft store and examined these bits. Several bits are warped. Just simply take the bits and roll them on the counter and see for yourself. Shame on Woodcraft for selling them! Was Woodcraft bought out by Harbor Freight? The best set of brad point bits is by W.L. Fuller.

The larger bits are good. They cut clean, straight holes. As with other reviews, the smaller bits are not straight. I didn't discover this until several months after receiving them. This makes me wary of future purchases of Woodcraft branded products. There are enough negative reviews that Woodcraft should take note and get a vendor with better quality control.

I bought this thinking that it is a quality product, being sold here at Woodcraft. I was so wrong... Whoever packed this item failed to consider that a plastic bag of this weight will not protect the item. So, I received this item with its "durable" plastic storage case totally shuttered inside - bits were all out of place. I was shocked to find out the poor quality of the storage case. The case inside, holding the bits, are so brittle made out of a very cheap plastic. Imagine those clear plastic spoons - those spoons are probably 4-5 times stronger. There is no way the case can last more than a month of use. So coming from Woodcraft (did not expect precision item sold here coming from China), it is a very disappointing product that they endorsed. Now I have to question everything they sell. Right now my attitude is... why risk buying anything here? The bits? haven't had a chance to use it, but based on the reviews... and it being made in China - I believe the reviews. I also judged this product based on its very inferior storage case, not to mention how poorly they packaged it for delivery - a UPS plastic bag.

I got the email saying these were on sale. I got excited and put them in my cart, I was about to checkout and noticed the 3 star review. After reading the reviews I deleted these from my cart. 10 years ago I bought 2 sets of drill indexes from my local Woodcraft store before it closed. They were all also mostly crooked. So I am going to have to find another place to buy things that are not continually defective.

These bits work great in my Jet drill press. The only thing is that some of the really small bits can snap. Other than that, this is a great buy for the price.

I build guitars & for some applications such as tuner holes or string ferrule holes, there’s no room for error. These are not the drill bits for that! Some are fine, most are not. I guess, if you want precision, you really have to pay for it. Most of these bits are very sloppy, unfortunately, most of the ones I use the most. I suggest spending the extra cash & getting a good set of bits. When it come to drill bits...you either get a one star review, or a five star review for quality, these get a one from me.
