Title: 16 Piece Forstner drill bit set for 17.99$ at Lowes : NOW $12
Post by: georgemcfly on September 10, 2008, 01:59:18 pm

Went to get 1 1/8" bit which was 16$, so instead I got the whole set. Item number 14714, can't find on the site. Came to less than 20$ for 16 bits.

Bit further reduced in price to 12$. Great deal for a buck a bit.

Stopped by Lowes today for some ideas on my rotating monitor and picked up a set myself.  There were 2 left and on clearance.  Wish I had the extra cash for both but at least I picked up one.

Thanks!!!

no problem. I wanted 1 bit, got a set for about the same price. Always looking for a good excuse to buy more tools

Picked up mine today.  I have some duplicates now, but that's ok.

NICE!  Thanks for the heads up.  I picked up the last 16 pc set @ Bedford, OH.  There were still 2 smaller sets for $10.

Thanks for the headsup... picked up the last one at my local Lowes, it was 45$ reduced to 18$, they also had smaller kits that were 20$ reduced to 13$,  both made by Task Force in a orange hard case.

There is 10% off coupons floating around the internet as well.

It's no worse than the original item in question, which is Kobalt, IIRC...

Well if its only for one or a few times use around the house then it should be okay.

I just happened by the the bits area at lowes in Roeland Park, Kansas a couple of days ago and they had at least 4 of these 16 piece forstner bit sets left marked down to $17.99. The smaller seven piece set is marked down to $7.99 but only goes up to one inch.

I know that these aren't the best quality by far, but all I will need this for is maybe 2-3 control panels and other "general" household stuff.
