They also just use a shopify website, have no phone number, and use a rented UPS box for their address. Not really much of a way to run a legitimate business.
I sure wouldn't pay a premium because they have a US flag on their card.
As an aside - I do own this set. I own a bunch of different drill bit sets. This Bosch set does live up to the Project Farm hype. I had to drill out a couple completely rusted bolts on a sensor on one of my cars (using a close quarter drill) and these bits cut through that steel like the proverbial hot knife through butter. I agree the MSRP is a bit of a joke, but these are unquestionably worth the normal ~ $35 Amazon asking price.

Also, my issue was with a electro-mechanic headlight level sensor that was bolted into the rear driver side suspension arm. The bolts were small and totally rusted out. No chance of using even a high quality bolt extractor on it.
CCC says average price since 2019 is 32$, still a good deal, just not earthshattering.
So far the bits have held up well. I only use them when drilling through metal, usually when fixing/building something for my vehicles. I've got a cheapo set of Harbor Freight standard duty bits for other types of easier drilling.

Read multiple different people comment that the "vague" return process does not reliably work, perhaps at all, and certainly not as a unsuspecting user would assume by the stated policy.
Really would like to find a high value 115pc M42 kit with easily replaceable single elements when needed.
For anyone interested in a 115PC M35 kit, I gambled on the HF kit, and while it is still HF suspect, the bits look to be fairly reasonable. Though I have NO way to validate the %Co of the bit, the grind quality and concentricity of the bits (specifically on the ones I received, make sure to check them) were better than I expected. They seemed to go through hardened materials fairly well, not as well as a "known quality" high priced bit, but well enough, since I need a indexed kit with variety of sizes to hand fit and prototype.

Searching business listings does bring up a suite in a small office building in Kalispel Montana, where there surely isn't any drill bit manufacturing taking place. But if you look at google street view [google.com], you can see what is probably the owner's sweet pickup truck.
FWIW, I used the 5/16 and 3/8 bits from this set on a trailer frame and they worked fantastically.
