Key Features:
- Precision Shear Forstner Bits feature double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge that slices throughout the rotation of the bit for less splintering and chipping, producing flawless flat-bottom holes. This unique geometric design has multiple cutting edges that produce greater shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting.

In light of all the fakes I've gotten, I'm done ordering anything name brand from Amazon. They shipped me a fake specialty tape measure a year ago. It wasn't even in the units it was supposed to be in. But the part numbers matched, so Amazon sold it.
Freud is good stuff. Their Forstner an router bits are worth a hefty premium. But no way I'd pay the 'Zon a penny more than I would for a Harbor Freight special, 'cause there's a good chance that's what they'll send you. Bauer bits painted red.
Don't want to pay $50 for a set of authentic Jorgensen clamps? That's ok, you can get an almost exact replica made by chinese supplier XUNANCY for $12 shipped (and don't forget to select the $5 coupon with it).
Think you're getting a new in box 1TB Western Digital blue hard drive? Nope, you got a shucked drive from an external hard drive enclosure and it was still sold by amazon. Need to get it covered under their warranty after 11 months of use? Nope, your warranty is now null and void because the serial number doesn't match the purchased item.
//ask me how I know all of this.
By the way, Freud 16pcs drill bit set for $175 does sound very legit, i'd just inspect it fully and make sure it is legit before you go using them.

Though given that this is Amazon, these might just be counterfeit

Source for this information? There are numerous Amazon warehouses. I would love to hear this is true but it would be surprising.
Most third parties store all the products at Amazon facilities, all products with the same bar codes get thrown into the same bins, Amazon and third party use the same bins

When you say "inspect it fully", do you happen to know what to look for on a counterfeit vs legit product like this? I don't know if companies like Freud put any measures in place to make their products stand out from copies...
I used to sell in Amazon 5+ years ago, there was always the option to commingle inventory which I never did. Costed me more, but also meant I didn't have to deal with other sellers counterfeit products, or products packaged improperly etc. Unless it's changed since then, sellers still have the option.
