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.
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. The drills wobble, the collar slips easily, the cut is not super clean. I am not a contractor, by the way, just a home woodworker. Big mistake. I needed new countersink set, this was cheap so I bought it. It really is not worth the money and it went back just 1 day after working with 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.
Thank you, China, for flooding our home improvement stores with cheap products like this. 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. Just as the previous reviewer stated, these things "snap like twigs". 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.
I am disappointed at Hitachi for producing such a cheap set. I love my other Hitachi products.Maybe I received an atypical set. 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. I use this set in conjunction with a Makita set quite a bit. This set is cheap. There is a huge difference between inexpensive and cheap. It is cheaply made and the price reflects as much. 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.
But if You Intend on putting alot of speed or torque on this bit they will strip out. 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. This Product is made from Aluminum which is good for Light weight Jobs. I'm on My 3rd one now.
