Default Carbide bur from Sears

I don't know if this is a big deal or not but I went over to Sears today to get a few things and stopped off at the tools to look at burs. I got 2 tungsten carbide ball head burs about 1/8 inch. when I got a chance I tried one on some Maple I'm working with. It cut really good. I have several of the same kind from various vendors from Foredom and others and this bur does a really great job. I couldn't see much difference in the way it was made but it does a better job then my other carbide ball heads.

Despite some of the Sears / Craftsman detractors, you can find some pretty high quality tools there at reasonable prices. I buy most of my hand tools there simply because of the no questions asked lifetime warantee. I've picked up some good files, rasps etc. - will have to check out their burrs.
