I purchased this set about two months ago thinking that they would work like a hot knife through butter and, last for a decade. The performance is not much different than most drill bits. I used the smaller bits to drill through a metal door frame to install weatherstripping and broke two brand new bits. I was letting the drill do the work without a lot of pressure. In my opinion, they are no better than, and maybe even not as good as my jobber drills.
