The self-feed bits in DeWalt's DW1649 eight-piece kit make use of aggressive, replaceable spurs and a unique two-cutter design to cut rough holes in wood quickly and efficiently. The geometry of these bits is engineered to provide extended bit life, and an open-tooth design allows extra sharpenings to save you money. Also offering a 7/16-inch ball groove shank that has flat sides to prevent the bit from slipping in your drill's chuck and allows you to switch from one application to the next quickly, this kit includes a 5-1/2-inch extension piece, 1-, 1-1/8-, 1-1/4-, 1-1/2-, 1-3/4, 2-1/8-, and 2-9/16-inch self-feed bits, and a convenient set of replacement parts in a durable kit box that makes it easy for you to keep your tool kit organized on the go.

Falsely Described - Beware! But Good Anyway.:
The product description states "Two-cutter design on even the smallest bits for improved efficiency". The photos show two cutter bits as well. This is not true. What you receive is a set of single cutter bits. I don't know if it is Amazon that bungled it, or DeWalt pulled a fast one and downgraded the product without changing the model information. It doesn't really matter who botched it. What matters is the consumer doesn't get what they thought they were getting. What about the product I did receive?... more info
Pleasantly suprised:
I own A LOT of Dewalt tools, so I expected to get a good quality set when I ordered this item. When it arrived, I was actually fairly suprised at just how good the fit and finish of the set actually is. Every once in a while, you come across something that as soon as you open it, you just know it's going to work great. The set doesn't just look great though, it works as good as it looks. A real pleasure to use.
Not what they say:
Dewalt has changed the product but still uses the same 1649 number Be careful there is only one cutting head now. Everybody advertises that there are two cutting heads. If you look on the picture that is shown they look shinny the ones you get now are black. The other bits were great.
Best investment:
Excellent product, finished a 1/2 hour project in 5 minutes.
If you cut holes for plumbing or electrical these are the bits to have.
