With the popularity of these drill bits from feedback of owners, I’m surprised I haven’t posted these sooner… I had to check whether I have already posted it, however, as the saying goes, “better late” than “forgetting to post it due to over indulgence of cheap cask-o-vinos”.
Was posted at LJ in April,2022, and here it is in all its uncensored glory.
And before you cheapskates frugal money managers complain about the cost, they were much, much cheaper back in 2022… and even cheaper when you advantage sales… Black Friday is nigh (and day).

(even though the box is shop made... with wooden hinge).
I came across these bits when I was ordering some small router bits from Tools Today.
They are definitely not cheap, but usually, nor is the timber that you are just about to deface to screw, without "screwing" it up.
Like most other countersinks, they have a simple allen key mechanism for adjusting the drill bit depth,
however, at the other end of that key,
there is a different gauge to control the actual depth of the countersink,
If you choose your purchase carefully, you can order the gizmo with a tapered drill bit for no extra charge.
The collar spins freely and will stop rotating as soon as it comes into contact with the timber surface setting the exact depth of the pre-set countersink without disfiguring the work surface.
Now these features may not inspire anyone that isn't discerning about what and how they screw and prefer to chant the snafu mantra and if you happen to visit my workshop, feel free to help yourself to my freebies,
by the exit door.
PS. For all you Fe$tool tragics, they're also distributed in CENTROTEC shafts, so 99.999937% of your tight arsed "buddies" would never need to pinch them.
Keep safe, jocks... and your jocks, safe!

I have two or three boxed sets of the cheapies. They work well the first time, then the first thing to go is the lock screw hole stripping, the lock screw hex recess stripping, or the bit breaking from looking at it with a raised eyebrow. Pure junk not even suitable for boat ballast.
Been holding off on a good set, but have eye-balled the Amana's a time or two. Apparently they are either quality or the hairy eye-ball has no effect through the interwebs when viewing pictures. Don't really ever use them, but maybe if I had a decent set?
ive been using the fuller brand for the last several years and they work quite well. id say middle of the road for price. and ill give em a score of 8.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Thanks for looking guys... they are not cheap, however, they were a helluva lot cheaper when I bought them than they are now... that's the cost of procrastination if you are concerned about cost... it's only gonna cost more.
No idea how they stack up against the versatility of these, but if you're happy with them who am I to argue. I can only recommend what I'm happy with and there has been many countersinks that I have not been with... I've had others of varying prices that I haven't listed as they have been adopted my many cheapskate visitors to my shop... glad to be rid of them.... err, the bits.
Unfortunately here in the wonderful Aussieland we are not exposed to such diversified choices, so I can only chose from what I spy on the Internet as not too many people are prepared to write reviews... hint, hint... yeah, yazall not here to teach!
