Pros & Cons
Pros
It's snug, but this works well, and you won't damage the bits or your fingers. Coat shaft lightly with vaseline.
The accompanying mini-poster is a nice addition. The mini-cd is also decent, but you're going to need a computer to play the video clips within. The amazon price is roughly $50 cheaper than acmetool.
The box itself isn't the highest of quality but will work and is better than shrinkwrap on card. Swiveling wood block shelves and sturdy plastic grommets now hold the shanks in place. I think the versatility of the set would be improved if a core box ... Read More
The bits are great, typical freud quality thats hype actually aligns with the actual performance. No chipped carbides like you get on lesser quality products. Freud makes a high quality product and this set of bits is no disappointment.
Using the bits are a joy, however. My only complaint, is that this set includes no literature.
Cons
These bits are probably good/great if you can ever get them out of the case undamaged and unharmed. The placement holder for the bits is off alignment and stuck.
Highlights
Quality
These bits are a great addition to any set, their quality is top notch, and they cut very well.
You get the quality you want from freud.
Part of the case didn’t even get sprayed with the clear finish, just bare wood.
Ok, so the bits themselves might be good quality.
Price
Get these while amazon still has this unbeatable price.
These are excellent bits at a very reasonable price.
Not to mention, the amazon price is roughly $50 cheaper than acmetool, tool nut, or any of the online discount tool stores.
Shipping
Other have reported shipping issues, however mine were packed really well, including popcorn inside the box.
My issue is with the manufacture and not the shipping.
The box does not appear to have had shipping damage; it is just very poorly constructed.
We want secure shipping and fairly easy removal.
Packaging/appearance
Some earlier reviewers commented about poor packaging that resulted in a damaged display case, but the seller has remedied that.
I felt the packaging was well done, it came in a cardboard box that had no damage.
After reading the reviews here i was fully prepared to go to war in order to get the router bits out of the box.
A lot of folks are having issues getting the bits out of the box.
Competitiveness
I have ordered wine glasses that weren't packaged this well.
Take a simple 1/2inch drill bit and just slowly ream out the hole by pressing the side of bit against the sidewalls of the bit holder.
) 3rd, at the sale price that the seller offeted.

As many reviews have said they are very difficult to remove from the case
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Removing them and using a 12 bit to increase the size of the hole does help but they are still very stiff to remove
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I push them into the case as little as possible

So i’ve read all the reviews and so many have problems with removing the bits from the box
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The bits were indeed hard to remove so i used a piece of scrap leather leather glove will work to grip and wiggle them free then i cleaned the shanks with rubbing alcohol then i used a little silicone grease on a qtip and coated the inside of the rubber grommets making sure not to use too much
