It's definitely a decent price for those but having used both types I would never use one of these again, they're awful.

hmmm... well how bout I do some more research on these bits before committing anyone to order some. I'll get back with any information I find.

UPDATE: midgetwaiter's talking about "sintered" bits I believe. did some research, and I'm going to sample two of the cheap ones. today I ordered two plated bits from the seller, to see what kinda quality they are. when I get them, i'll let everyone know
