At that low of a price, I'd be really concerned about the quality
of these bits. More specifically, are they made-in-Taiwan imports, made
from Lord only knows what grade of steel, or are they the same quality
as the Irwin products?

To put it another way: You gets what you pays for. Caveat emptor
indeed...

I have both the original Unibit brand and the Greenlee imitation.
Both are equally good. I have seen other brands, like Stanley, that
should perform well. Some of the prices I have seen lately on good
brands make me shed a tear over what I paid 10 years ago.
