I was driving by with the wife so I tried to scoop them to surprise you. But when she finally got back to me, it was to say they were sold. She also has a set of Greenlee Punches that I might have bought for myself, but I'm annoyed with her now so she will have to find another buyer.
Shoot.
I'm always a little torn, posting stuff listed for really, really low prices (that set is~$475 at KBC).
It's great if somebody can nab it.
But it tends to be listed for hours, not days.
Better to choose optimism?

Are you sure it’s the identical set that KBC is selling for $475? From the chowdered shank on the 7/8” bit it looks more like it cane from PA (I’d say HF, but they are in Canada):Shoot.

Yes. The other photo in the listing was the exterior of the box, Precision Twist Drill brand.

Aah, didn’t look far enough, but surprising the shanks are that soft.
My HF set has 3-flat shanks, but I’m thinking of relegating these to a 1/2” boring bar holder for tool post drilling.
I always prefer optimism. Stuff like that does tend to go fast, but what if it doesn't? Plus she really shrinks her market if she won't shop. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to give back to a forum member, and I figured if you decided against them I could easily find someone else who would like them. I have a set from Mac tools that is guaranteed for life. Break them or wear them out and the replace it free of charge. I'm on my second 5/8ths bit. It chipped the corner. They brought me a new one. Mine have 1/2" hex shafts too.
I’ll have to keep an eye out for that Mac Tools set!
I am really not sure, but I think you can only get it off the MAC tools truck. It was a promotion when I bought it so it might not be a great deal anymore.
