Even with all the stuff I do, I don't use a Forstner much but when you need it you NEED it. I also have some specialty Forstner style bits in odd sizes like "European Hinge" pocket which are not Harbor Fright. I'd wager that the Sears ones, for sure, are made in China, not quite so sure about the Freud but likely at that price. Decide who you want to buy from.....
