"Rockler, woodcraft and eagle america slightly above harborfreight." ???
Woodcraft offers a 100% money back guarantee on their bits. Their quality is substantially above HF. They are not top of the line quality but are a great bit for beginners. They give excellent value for the price. When you are starting out you rarely need a production quality bit. Common sense tells you to buy some inexpensive decent quality bits to get started. These bits will give you good service for a couple of years. As you replace them go with higher quality bits based on what you actually use. There is no reason to buy a premium bit you will use only once or twice. By the same token there is no reason to ever buy the bits that cost $1 each. That is just throwing your money away. Given that the Woodcraft bits were not run in the Taunton test where bits ran from about $8 - $22 their $5 sale price for a medium quality bit is a great deal. Will they wear out faster than premium brands? Yes. Will they perform well for the price? Absolutely.
