Definitely worth the money if you need tapered plugs. They work great, if you can cut the plugs from like grain. For repair work, I cut a shaped pattern in the stock that kind of goes along with the grain, then I carve a fitted piece of wood to the pattern and glue it in. There is less of a defined line for the repair.

I've been using a set of those for years. Well worth the $$$. Never have to worry about matching wood colors at all.

The cutters are nice to have... very much so if you're in the need for 'em. The chuck (the oversold one) is a do-without, since they can be used in your drill press's chuck. It's not like you'll ever need quick-change plug cutters... :)

Thanks fellas got some yesterday. Worked great. It's hard to find walnut plugs with the exact shade of red that I am using. Easier to cut your own.
