Tools and Hardware Reviews of KR Tools 11970 64-Piece X-TREME Drill and Bit Set Combo
Customer Review: Too much stuff
Summary: 3 Stars
A good value to split up into three gifts. Can't amagine anyone using all those bits. Major complaint is the method of holding the parts in the cases which makes it difficult to return the item to the case. Good quality and price.Customer Review: Very good assortment; average but passable quality
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have owned several drill bit sets, and this one falls neatly into the average to good range.
To be frank, I own a 1950s fixer-upper house, and my drill bits take such abuse, it's hardly worth it to me to buy a big, fantastic set of super high-quality bits, because in my experience, the smaller bits all end up snapping off mid-job anyway. And then some (ok, a lot) just go missing altogether in the drywall dust, construction debris, the lawn, my friend's tool bag, etc. So my view is that you might as well save a few bucks, since you're not likely to be buried with a complete set of ANY bits that you've actually used.
The highest quality aspect of this particular set is probably the cases, to tell you the truth. These cases will last you a lifetime (so you can look at the places where your broken bits used to go, I guess).
Seriously, though, not a bad set if you can get a fair price for it. They do the job for me. If I need an exceptionally high quality bit for a specific job, I'd buy that individually anyway. I find that a FEW sizes get used a LOT, but most of the bits get used little or not at all. Might as well stick with the average, affordable bits like these to have on hand, and buy a nice one when it really counts.
One small suggestion, in case the manufacturer is reading these reviews: make the cases out of CLEAR plastic! Then you don't have to open all 3 to find the ones you're looking for.
Customer Review: Wobbly Drill Bits!
Summary: 3 Stars
A large variety of bits are included in this set. The price is good but I was a bit disappointed with the quality. Many of the drill bits in my set wobble severely to the point of being unusable. I still find the rest of the set very useful. A decent product overall.Customer Review: You Get What You Pay For
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
For slightly over 20 bucks you get most bits and drivers that are handy for simple household use. For this price and for being made in China you cannot expect to get quality items but they are good enough to accomplish most light tasks. As pointed out in other reviews the bits do wobble somewhat. If you need quality bits then stay away from this kit. Removing the drill bits from the case can be a challenge as is their return to the case. However, if you want an inexpensive kit for occassional projects then this is hard to beat for the price. The rapid change connector really is a time saver and is one of the better items. I use this kit with a Milwaukee cordless driver for light work. For professional jobs I use other types of equipment.
The low price and the large assortment is the reason for the 5 stars.
