Oh dear...I got ripped buying these. [Posted on 2004-02-13]
The drill bits are, by far, the worst i've ever purchased. At a close glance, they appear to be are poorly machined, and the grade of metal used is too soft for basic drilling applications. The drill bits can easily bend under the slightest pressure, and they have a tendency to randomly wonder around their intended target even on soft materials. Maybe I'm being picky but, I purchased some cheap Ryobe drill bits for six bucks at Home Depot. As I drove home, I marveled as to how something so cheap could be of any use...Wait, I don't even like Ryobe power tools doh!! When I tested them my jaw dropped. They made a super-clean cut without traveling off target or bending out of shape....Wow---six bucks!! I feel terrible for writing this article, but the truth must be told. I believe that Yukon Tools will eventually improve their producs and wish them the best of luck.
That's forty bucks I wish I had back [Posted on 2005-04-15]
I was moderately satisfied when I first got these - kind of cheaply packaged, but I managed to modify the case so it worked, so I figured I had a set of good, super-hard, super-sharp bits for whenever I needed them.
Well, I don't know what kind of steel a garden hoe is made out of, but it's more that these things can handle. I was pushing hard, changing the angle, tryng slower, trying faster, but all these things did was mostly squeal. At that point I was about convinced that I must have some kind of titanium hoe on my hands! Out of curiosity, I then put in one of my old steel bits (just ordinary hss bits - craftsman or something)and the metal started curling up the way it's supposed to. I had a hole in no time.
There ought to be a law against making the claims made about these bits when they perform as they do.
On the bright side, I won't have to worry about losing them...

I bought 3 of these sets for a employee reward program. All three storage cases were defective.
