Went to bed, but am up again with stomach acid. Oh well.
While up, I thought I'd try looking into this Drill Hog company; you know, see their website, see how long they've been around, etc. Ran across something quite interesting. It would "seem" that the label calling itself "Drill Hog" is not the actual manufacturer, but a seller. The website https://drillhog.com/ was created in 2015. There is a blog, but with only one entry. Also, When clicking on their Products link, they show ONLY one item -- a 29 pc. drill bit set in metal index.
They certainly seem like good bits, but something does smell a bit about this place. Here's that interesting link I was speaking of:

Even at this link, it mentions how prices are higher on Amazon than on eBay, due to Amazon taking a cut and the price having to be 18% higher. Well, my price was a LOT more than 18% higher than eBay. I've yet to see a legitimate company who would have such varying prices on the same products between Amazon and eBay.
Just wanted to pass this info along. If suspicions are correct, it could easily explain why people claim they cannot get broken bits replaced, or even get reply contact from "The Company".
Maybe next time I'll just order my "quality" bits from Grainger.com. Is getting to where you gotta research [b:600dd2e1b8]everything[/b:600dd2e1b8] you see online anymore. Hmm....now that I think about it, I wonder if Guido really is who he says he is? Or IS he a [i:600dd2e1b8]spy[/i:600dd2e1b8]?!?!? :shock: *lol*
G'night all. Gonna try hitting the ol' goose feathers again.
