I couldn't buy a single 1-1/8" bit at a reasonable price.
Daniel D on May 24, 2017
Purchasing the 16 Piece and 6 Piece sets together is less expensive than the 22 Piece set, but you get all the same bit sizes, as long as you don't mind having 2 boxes of bits.
Nicolas B on Apr 28, 2017
They were on sale for a good price. First set of forstner bits I have ordered and my choice was based on reviews of other purchasers
