Tyler LueckTyler Lueck: Seller product labels placed directly on product case. Stickers don’t peel off easily and you can’t use a label remover solution due to the ink printed on the box listing specs of the drill bits.
Product itself is fine, stickers just ruin the visual appearance and takes time to get cleaned up.

I needed some spare 1/4 bits for a project in oak that needed to make quality round splinter free holes about 100 of them. I was surprised to get Diablo and almost returned them but then I saw they were actually a division of Freud. They did the job even though they had burrs on the cutting edges which I touched up with a diamond stone before using. The grind was a bit coarse and after 100 holes one got dull but still was making good holes. Even the original Freud was getting rolled cutting edges so I saw no difference in steel material used in the bits. Even the grind was the same on both, a bit coarse and unfinished. These are disposable bits, to small to resharpen so they are really throw away tools. They did the job but I can’t help but wonder if there was a better steel and a better grind they might last longer. While these got me through the job I will keep looking for a better quality tool.
