I know not everyone speaks highly of Craftsman quality...

(You owe me a monitor and keyboard, Bill.)


I'm hoping
that since they are 6 for $40, there are quite good (3/8" shanks).

I"d almost bet they were made in China, just like the $1 bits.

I thought so too. But I took another look at the picture of the item.
Near the top of each bit it say "Germany". A family member wanted to
buy me something for Christmas, but I can't send them to Lee Valley.

You CERTAINLY don't want to send them to Searz. Ye Gods, man, have a
heart. Sure it wasn't "Made for Germany in China"?

mankind apply than to the sense of this difference?"
