These are excellent!
I bought a set of Harbor Freight forstner bits, used them one time for three holes and they were dull. Totally wasted money so I found these and gave them a try.First, they are wrapped individually and are packed in a pretty sturdy case. However a few were out of place but honestly no big deal.I have them a try right away and they are worked perfect! They go right through wood like cutting through butter with a hot knife.They seem to keep their sharpness. When comparing these to the Harbor Freight brand, you can certainly tell a difference. These are accurate, you don't have to fight with them because of dullness, and they bore through wood without any problem..plus they come in a very sturdy case.Overall I give them 5 stars.

Great value, but not perfect
First, let me state that for the money this set of bits is great. They cut wood like butter, there doesn't appear to be any problems with runout, and the case is conveniently labeled with a spot for each bit.The only issues are when you first receive the kit. Each bit is individually wrapped in plastic and you'll need to pull them out to place them into the case. The bits will probably have come loose during shipping, but this does not appear to have damaged the bits or the case itself. The case itself is fairly cheap plastic and for some weird reason it has that plastic texture that prevents you from attaching a label to it. Dunno why they insist on applying a texture to something that's going to sit on a shelf for most of its life, but there you go.In my case, there are a couple of cracks in the clear plastic window of the case. Do I care? No. The case holds the bits and keeps them organized. I'm not displaying my tools, I'm just trying to keep them from wandering. But if this matters to you, you may have to send the bits & case back a couple times to get a pristine one.

Great bits for the price. Crappy case
Works as expected, and a great value for the price. I use the shank bits in my smaller drill press and haven’t experienced any issues thus far. If that changes, I will update my review.The only reason for a 4 rating is because the carrying case it comes with is flimsy and junk. The clear plastic viewing window is made of very cheap, extremely thin plastic and broke as soon as I took it out of the Amazon box. The “holding inserts” where the bits sit in doesn’t hold them in place. As soon as you lift the plastic container, the bits fall out and rattle around freely. Because of this, I had to cut the top completely off of the bottom and use it store my bits inside a rolling tool box shelf flat. If you want to travel with these bits in your truck, mobile tool box etc, they will bounce around and ding each other in the cheap case.

Good for the money
Really just needed the 1” bit for a project, but I don’t have any forstner bits, and the price per bit works out to be a bargain. The bit worked perfectly, nice clean hole. Didn’t bite too fast, and I easily controlled the depth, even at max RPM.Be advised, despite having a “hex shank”, these bits will not fit into a quick-release hex chuck. The storage box is ok for what it is, I don’t buy tools for the box. 😄

Fantastic bits
Wanted fostner bit to drill dog holes in bench. This set was on sale so figured I'd give them a try. These have exceeded my expectations and then some. I highly recommend and would def purchase again. Look forward to using them on future woodworking projects

So far so good
These serve my purpose. I use them regularly and they are sharp and seem to keep their sharpness pretty well. Good purchase for the price and quality.

not too sharp
The edges of the blades and teeth are visibly nicked &/or rough in some places, but they seem good enough for my purposes. I drilled a 2+1/8" hole with my drill press, and it made a smooth flat-bottomed hole except for on little circular scratch from a nick. I would NOT say it cut through the wood like butter, but I took my time.The bits were delivered all snug in their holders. The case will keep holding the bits in place even if the cheap hinges and latches break off - shouldn't cause me any problems.Even though I'm dissapointed in the sharpness, I feel I still got a good value for my money, and these will probably serve me well for occasional work around my home. Mostly, I like the large selection of sizes and the low price.
