That all said, I actually have a set of these on one of my workbenches, and 
have been quite happy with them.  Understand, I'm old and cranky enough to 
not put up with crappy tools, and over the years most of the junk has been 
jettisoned.

I bought this set (for a bit more money, but still cheap) on a whim, and was 
quite surprised to find out that they're actually pretty good.  (They're on 
my electronics bench, so they don't get abused very much, and I haven't worn 
one enough to have to re-grind one yet.)  My only real complaint is that 
there are no cabinetry screwdrivers in the set (the kind that doesn't flare 
at the tip, so you can use it in a hole that's the same size as the screw 
head).
