Like I thought I got a good deal on a set but only got about 15 or so
holes using a 3/4? bit, and the young lady at their store said yep,
that is about all they are good for.

So I figured well at least I got a few good holes, and when I replace
it, I'll go for a better brand. But I don't see any with carbide
cutting surfaces. At least not yet.


Both of their house brand stuff is the same Chiwanese crap.
It is what it is. Take any house branded tools in either store, divide
the price in half, and if it woulds too good to be true, it is.

If you need something for hundreds of holes, like a 35mm (1-3/8")
concealed hinge Forstner bit, go with something name-brand and not the
house generic.

I pick up their stuff when it goes on sale for 50% off and consider it
"bonus" tools that I keep in the van for when I need it. But I never,
ever consider any of the Woo-Driver or Rockler Blue ****e production
quality tools.
