Some reviewers compare these favourably to costlier brands. I haven't the experience or economy to try this. Why I purchased these was because they are described as the top line of Kowood, whose products I see readily available on Amazon. For jobs remote & in the shop, I have been running these in my Dewalt 20V, fixed and plunge bases. They make very pleasing results for my purposes, which are amateur crafts & finish carpentry furniture. Frankly, this is the only product I've purchased from Kowood, so I can't compare the green to yellow series. From my experience, I wouldn't want to 'downgrade', so I do hope the manufacturer produces some alternative green sets with different profiles "” and I would sincerely appreciate 1/4" shanks, since that's all I'm equipped for.
I've swapped bearings between different edge-bits ; there are two included hex keys fitting the retaining screws. It's hard (they're screwed in tight), and occasionally I find a screw that is a little bent, but I keep each screw paired with the threaded shank it came out of, changing only bearings, and have had happy success. Again : is this easier with more expensive brands? Probably "” you pay for precision tooling.
As to how well the bits cut, I have no complaints. They are extremely sharp, and I've seldom burnt an edge, which incidents are likely just user-error. Some of the shanks are tightly seated in the box (which is of very nice quality), so its best to avoid just yanking on the bladed head. Likewise caution when turning the bearing retention screws, which, as mentioned, can be locked on quite tight the first time.
I do hope Kowood understands the investment I've made in their product, and in the future offers more bits of this quality. Its obvious why there exist expensive 1/2" shank products, catering to fine production woodworkers. Nonetheless, there's no reason why amateurs can't approach those shapes, at a slower pace, with 1/4" shanks in less powerful routers. Roundovers & coves are great, and Kowood has provided a good starting selection in this kit ; but browse through, for instance, Freud's catalogue, and you'll be blown away at the variety available. If Kowood could assemble quality bits for this fair price, then they could certainly itemize their products, allowing us to purchase individual shapes to our liking, for less than the $40/ starting price of any Freud.
So, I am only thankful to this seller ; when I got a router, I needed a selection of bits, and this set was my choice. When today & tomorrow I need a new shape, then I hope Kowood steps up to the challenge.

Thought I'd write a review since there aren't many on this Kowood line, and so far I've used 90% of the bits in the case pretty heavily, so I'd like to write my take on it. This is my first purchase from these guys, so I can't speak for the other sets like the 24X and such.

Firstly, I make easels, taborets, and repurpose other furniture hardware for art studios, which means I'm working with hardwoods usually 50-100 years old, so I like my bits to be sharp to say the least. Firstly, Kowood did a good job on the case, every bit is secured and well presented. Usually router bit cases are flimsy with crap hinges at best, but this case is solid, exactly what you see in the product pictures.
Now for the most important part, the bits themselves. I've used all the bits so far except the carving, keyhole, panel pilot, and the slot cutter, and they performed excellent. All cuts were clean, and I've abused most of them on slabs of cherry, walnut, maple, and mahogany for hours in a single sitting. They retain their edge fairly well, and every bearing held strong. I usually use Freud Diablo bits, and this set matched them on every cut, which is amazing. I was on the fence ordering a well known brand 26 piece set for nearly 350 dollars and decided to take a chance with these guys, and I'm happy I did.

This is a great starter router bit set. Has all the bits you will likely need to start with and more. I've had this set nearly a year now, and use many of the bits frequently on cherry, oak, and pine. Edges (mostly) stay sharp and the finish is very smooth. My only complaint is that the smaller bits have a tendency to overheat & then dull - you just have to run them at a slower speed and take care not to push them too hard. However, for the price these can't be beat!

I was looking for a new set of bits to go with a new router that was gifted to me, these caught my eye and I am completely blown away by them. They came packaged really well, the wooden box they are in is beautiful and really sleek. I usually throw away plastic boxes that tools come in but this wooden box is staying. The router bits themselves are solid with lots of carbide on them, they easily compare to any name brand bit at a great price. One more reason I went with this set is they have all the essential bits and not many extras that never get used. Would definitely recommend!

The wood case that this set is in looks nice and well orginized. My only issue at this time is, the way that the bits are installed in the box. They are super hard to pull them out, and hard to put in after use. There is a good chance that you will cut your finger, pulling them out. VENDER, please fix this issue. Very dangerous!!!!
This is why I removed the 1 star.
