All-time low at Amazon @ $175.10:

Freud 16 Pcs. Precision Shear Serrated Edge Forstner Drill Bit Set 1/4-Inch to 2-1/8-Inch, Multi, One Size [amazon.com]

Definitely still not cheap but supposedly just as good as the Fisch Wave Cutter set, which are much more expensive.

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.
Almost all of amazon is some sort of counterfeit/duplicate these days.

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.

Diablo is Freud, for some context

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

Most counterfeit goods on Amazon are sold by third parties. These are most likely the real deal.

If there are multiple sellers there is a chance you're getting a counterfeit. Amazon commingles their inventory. So unless it's getting shipped directly from a trusted seller and not from a commingled warehouse there's no guarantee that the item that the picker grabs is same one The trusted seller put in to the inventory

Thanks for the heads up. I guess I just don't buy many things of easy counterfeit nature. Like you mentioned computer parts or electronics in general.

Amazon stopped comingling a couple years back due to counterfeit electronics. Items sold by third party sellers still have the option when listing their own merchandise, but most reputable sellers do not select that option.

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

Almost all of amazon is some sort of counterfeit/duplicate these days.

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.

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.
