1/4-inch shank, carbide tipped, this set includes a variety of shapes for edge-forming, surface-forming, straight cuts, mortising and joinery.
At $2.30 per bit this is an excellent starter set for someone wanting to experiment with routing techniques and learning how to use a router rather than destroying high dollar Freud bits.
This set was a Black Friday deal at Lowe's back in 2017 for $50, but has hovered around $85-$100 since. The set was $110 at Home Depot, but it looks like
they've reduced their price to $71 [homedepot.com], keeping pace with Lowe's. Amazon is only available from Marketplace sellers, so no competitive PM.

What do you think of the set, worth the money?
Don't worry it will be onsale on father's day
These are rather cheap router bits. Its nice to have a wide selection but the cut quality and life on these is average at best.
I also bought this identical set in 2018 for $45 at local lowes.

Freud and Bosch can be easily found in big box stores, and Whitesides and rockler are also good ones. Routerbitworld has plenty of choices of various bits, and also Amazon.
Routing is dangerous. Please use quality bits.
After burning through a couple Ryobi drill bit sets, I do the same thing for drill bits now too
