I have a big set of Hickory bits I purchased when I ordered my router
from Amazon. They're okay and do the job. Not the quality of the top
brands but a lot better than most cheap sets. Can't comment on your
particular set but suspect if your going to use it a LOT, a better set
would be adivsed. For casual or infrequent work it would probably be
okay.

I think you'd be ill advised to buy that set, unless you knew you'd
only need to make 4 or 6 doors for the rest of your life. If money is
tight go to www.jesada.com. They make a nice bit and occasionally have
20% off sales. There's some guy on here that occasionally puts them on
ebay as well.. He bought out some supplier in Canada.
This is the feedback I was looking for.
Deal looked to good to be true. I was not looking for a set, but at the
price, not a bad idea to purchase, and use when needed.
I've been using Freud sets, and very happy with the results and
longevity.
Thank you both for your feedback.
