I noticed the reviews weren't that great for this product.I thought these counter-sinc bits were as good as any on the market.they're stong, they spin, and counter-sinc wood. what else are you looking for.
The drills wobble, the collar slips easily, the cut is not super clean. Big mistake. I needed new countersink set, this was cheap so I bought it. Frustrated, I went to big box store and bought DeWalt set of 3 countersink drills for double the price of this whole set, and all I can say is that DeWalt is worth every penny, although it seems a bit overpriced. It really is not worth the money and it went back just 1 day after working with it. I am not a contractor, by the way, just a home woodworker. You don't have to be a contractor to justify buying good bits over cheap stuff like this. As long as you like working with wood, and like making crisp, precise cuts every time, this set is not for you, it will only make you frustrated.
Just as the previous reviewer stated, these things "snap like twigs". Thank you, China, for flooding our home improvement stores with cheap products like this. That said, when the bits do snap off, st least you have the option of replacing just the drill bit with one made out of real metal. The actual countersink component is made in the USA.Perhaps a warning label advising the user not to use these in anything harder than balsa wood.
I was excited to put this set to good use around the house and in my workshop when I started snapping the drill bits like twigs. This set is cheap. There is a huge difference between inexpensive and cheap. I went through two of them before I decided that I wasn't going to mess around with the cheap drill bits any more and began to use spare drill bits with one side ground down to fit in the Hitachi quick change system. It is cheaply made and the price reflects as much. I use this set in conjunction with a Makita set quite a bit. I am disappointed at Hitachi for producing such a cheap set. I love my other Hitachi products.Maybe I received an atypical set.
This Product is made from Aluminum which is good for Light weight Jobs. But if You Intend on putting alot of speed or torque on this bit they will strip out. I'm on My 3rd one now. I will buy another just like it to use for lighter duty jobs, but i think i'll find a Heavier duty set for use with an impact driver or tougher woods.
