Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko 50-Piece Premium-Grade 1/2" Tungsten Carbide 3-Blade Router Bit Set - 3 and 2 Blade - Aluminum CaseCustomer Review: Great set for the price Summary: 5 Stars
Awesome beginners' set. You can't beat it for the price. I have used these bits to build some ornate shelving and a few others projects and they worked perfectly. Every cut I have made has been flawless. I have used some very poorly made bits and I would not put these in that category. I wonder if the nicks and burrs claimed by other reviewers are from feeding the wood too quickly, wrong router speed, not using featherboards, or too weak a router. I'll admit I have only used these in MDF, pine, and fir, but here is why I think this set it definitely worth the money:
Most people have their favorite 5 or 6 bits that they use all of the time, and then a few others that they use only occasionally. You get 50 high quality bits with this set--a really cheap way to find out what your favorite bits are and also get those occasional-use bits. Even if they don't last as long as commercial bits, most of these will still last much longer than most people will ever use them. After you've had the set for awhile and realize which are your favorite 5 or 6, spend a little more money on replacing only those few bits when they wear-out. It will save you a ton of money and you will still have a large collection of bits.
Also, the case is plenty sturdy. It's not a solid, hand-cuff to your wrist spy movie type briefcase, but it is plenty for holding your bits. The foam does a great job of holding everything in place. Most of the sets on this site come in cabinet type cases with acrylic doors that are not lined up and look like they could easily fall off the hinges. This handy case easily slides underneath my workbench, can be stowed behind the seat in my truck, carried out to a project in the yard, etc. It may not withstand the constant abuse of being hauled to the job-site every day, but how many people who work mostly on-site need to bring 50 bits everyday? I am sure this case will be used mostly either in home wood shops or carried to friend's house to help with a weekend project--it is plenty strong for those situations.
