Good deal!
Arrived in good condition, seemed like a really fair price for all that I received. I particularly like how each is individually contained in a plastic case, I intend to keep them in those. I'm not experienced in machining, but I'm happy with the purchase.

Great Value, well machined and accurate.
I was A little leery after looking at some reviews from the Asian Collet market but these are a step above, while I have not used all of them I did check for accuracy, they are all at of better than their specifications. The machining is clean there’s no residual debris I’ve seen with some brands, they are a close comparison to a USA Made Collet, the price is the big difference, a name brand collet is near $40 each. I figured I’d try these as they offer a wide size range although some will probably never be used. Try them out I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Well worth the small investment. All of this being said you need a quality Collet Holder to get the most out of these.

Smallest sizes DO NOT WORK well, but everything 1/8" and up seems great.
I have had these for about a month and have used quite a few of them. I purchased them to use in the lathe and in my drill press for some light milling operations. I used the 3/8 and 1/4 collets to hold mills in the drill press and did a runout measurement using my dial indicator. Even in the drill press, I got just under .002" runout with those two collets. When I measured just the collet chuck I was right around .001" runout. I had similar measurements but slightly better in my old mini lathe. Today I went to drill a hole in metal with a 3/32 bit and figured I'd be better off using the collet. Unfortunately, I found that the 3/32 collet made the bit wobble around like crazy! I then started checking and found that the 1/16 collet did the same thing. (When I reinstalled my Jacobs Chuck to drill the 3/32 hole, it had far less runout than the collet) However, the 1/8" collet was back to the .002" runout I had measured on other collets. Upon further investigation, I was able to determine that the 1/16 and 3/32 collets are cut differently than all the other sizes. It appears that in order to get the smaller size, they cut the kerfs nearest to the center with a smaller tool than used near the outside of the collet. (You can see what I mean if you look at the picture, the 3/32 and 1/16 are the same and then 1/8 has straight kerfs all the way through) I can't figure out why this has such an adverse effect on the runout, but I can assure you, it does. I still rated this set as 4 stars because it wasn't expensive, I got 25 collets and 23 of them work well enough for any job I'll be doing. I will probably just purchase those two smallest sizes from a more reputable company and make my set complete. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone with the caveat that you probably won't get much use out of the 1/16 and the 3/32 bits.

Good value; adequate accuracy for wood turning
I haven't put my dial indicator on these to check them for accuracy, but they're perfectly adequate for wood turning. I've learned they definitely want a fairly long stem to grasp on whatever it is I'm spigot turning —at least 3/4", and a full inch is even better— probably because wood is soft enough to deform a bit and thus lose its center.Good value: a full set of 25 for less than other sellers are asking for sets of 20 or 12. All of the sizes arrived; none missing, none doubled. Each one is in its own box, the boxes labled (convenient for storing them in a drawer, sizes visible) and with the size laser-etched into the collet itself, shrink-wrapped in plastic, with a coating of protective oil under the shrink-wrap, so not a speck of rust upon arrival.Not only good for spigot-turning pieces in the headstock, but also handy for holding a drill bit in the tailstock when you need to drill the piece mounted on the headstock.I'm happy with them. I'd buy them again.

even better! Overall
I purchased this set for home use on a new lathe. I took a stab at this set since it had many more sizes than other sets. When it arrived, I found each piece to be shrink wrapped in its own marked container. The size is on each container and also laser etched into the face of each collet. I found no grit, no burrs or machine mistakes, so I was impressed. The finish on each is polished and there were no sharp edges, that was even better! Overall, I wasn't sure what I was going to really get for this price, but I've used 3 already and can't complain. In fact, I don't usually write reviews, but, because I found reviews helpful in making decisions on unknowns or new tools, I felt this set of collets was worthy of posting as they appear to be better quality at a very reasonable price.
