Protoolreviews.com called me out when I did this test, after doing their own independent testing, they drew the same conclusion that I did. I took before photo's of the tip's, that's why they were out of the package.
after doing a little more research on the matter, your conclusions seem to be verified, so in that case thanks for taking the time and effort to do this test, although i wouldn't consider buying these particular bits (in my mind, Wera bits are far superior than any on the market) i can see how potentially you've saved certain people some money.
i hope you can understand why i wrote what i did, im not one to blindly believe everything i see or hear, especially when i know that person is bias and if it's going to potentially influence decisions i'm going to make.
