Cle-line drill bits

[pendragon1998]

I just picked up a set of Cle-Line C21118 Style 1899 High Speed Steel General Purpose Jobber Length Drill Set, Steam Oxide Finish, 1/16" - 1/2" for use at home. Amazon didn't list a COO, but Zoro and HD say USA. I read somewhere that a Chinese investor bought the company, but kept manufacturing in South Carolina. I missed the $17 sale on these back in April, but I figured $50 was still less than I was going to shell out for Chicago-Latrobe 150 bits, and if they're not satisfactory, Amazon will probably take them back.

Does anyone like these?

A Chinese company own Greenfield which own Cle-line. They kept production in the US.
