"The bits themselves seem decent and sharp for the money, but the brass chuck on the pin vise broke quickly. I think a stainless steel chuck would have held up better, but honestly, the bits alone are worth the cost."

"The package didn't come with instructions, and it took me a while to figure out how to open the bit container. The collet in the handle is cut off-center, so there's some wobble when drilling. It's not a dealbreaker, especially for $10, but it's something to keep in mind."
