How horrible would this be?  I am trying to get all my tools bought and ready to my build to start.  I am just wondering what your thoughts are everyone?
thanks!

That's a nice set. Are you planning on building more things than just arcades? Cause you're probably not going to need all those bits. I bought a similar set for about $50 and haven't used half of the bits yet.

Also not sure of the quality (brand), how durable are these? I had to replace some of my bits already.

If it was me, I would use the money to upgrade some of my arcades parts, maybe some LED buttons or trackball.

That many bits for that cheap. Yeah, they're probably not gonna last long. But still, unless you're a hardcore wood worker, it'll likely get you through a few projects at least.

I think this is the same set sold on Amazon....there are a number of reviews on the bits that would be worth a read.
