      Well, I've had a chance to work with them a bit and have a feeling for them now.

      On the plus side:

      They're VERY sharp and cut great.

      On the minus side:

      They're WAY too brittle. I was drilling thru a bracket on the HHR seats I was installing and the 13/32 bit (tap drill for a 12mm X 1.75) and it caught as it broke thru. It shattered into 3 pieces. I've decided to keep these for drill press work where the situation is a bit more controlled and there's a lot less likelihood of "breaking thru".

      As a side note, they sent the set with a bottle of a sort of gel drill and tap lube and it works GREAT! I'll buy more of that when I use this up.
