I had an opportunity to compare it directly to an Irwin Forstner bit. I was impatient while waiting for the Freud to arrive, so I bought the Irwin bit locally. Normally Irwin is a reasonable value brand for tools. But this Freud was so much better it just blew me away. This thing cuts holes that are straight and smooth. I was using it for drilling pine 1x8 boards. The Irwin tended to breakout, even when I drilled halfway and flipped it over to finish the hole. This awesome Freud, on the other hand, cut smooth straight holes with no breakout, even when drilling with just one pass.
How does it wear? I've used it for at least 60 holes with no issues or signs of wear. Excellent holes from first to last.
Highly recommended!
BTW, I still like Irwin for other products, like their speed clamps, and even their "spade" drill bits, but for Forstners, this Freud rules.
Product itself is fine, stickers just ruin the visual appearance and takes time to get cleaned up.

I'm going to add to my Freud Forstner bit collection because they are well worth the money.
