Has anyone succumbed to the temptation to try these things? For $24.95, it seems like a bargain - even for a box of Chinese bits sized in 1/8" increments from 1/4 to 2 1/8"
I'm tired of paying $12.00 to $14.00 each for Chinese bits at the local BORG.
Thanks,

I have the round shank versions. They work. Not spectactular, but good enough. At least they're straight, unlike some of my twist bits ;-)
I ended up getting the 1/16 filler set too.

At the price, the chinese forstners are working very well, even in Norway:-) (Approx. $60 for a 12 piece set, it seems everything to do with woodworking is far cheaper i the US.)

Greetings to Norway!
Well, if it helps any, it is a special price, they are normally $50US. As for *everything* being cheaper, some of it has to do with the boat-loads of pure crap we buy, and then throw into the landfills. Mass consumption makes it cheaper. I only wish John Q. Public would consume mass quantities of better quality stuff, however... ;-)
Thanks for the response!

I don't use them often, but when you need one, you need it bad! I figure that even if I have to touch up the edges with a diamond paddle, they're worth $25. Kinda wanted to test out Griz service as well - never having bought anything from them.
As for the crooked twist drills - hmm... I believe I'll pass on those... ;-)
FWIW,

Yeah you would like to see the 50's happen again, when a store manager was married, them having children, buying a neighborhood house and a new chevy with ease.
