Drill bits

One of the issues with discussions like this is that you have professional mechanics / machinists and hobbyists both participating and they have different needs. If I was a professional I would buy the best tools I could get, as I would be using them everyday to make my living. I have no interest in snap on tools or expensive drill bits as a weekend warrior.

I have a set of number drills I have had for probably 20 years. Bought them off a clearance rack for cheap. I rarely use them unless I need a very specific size. They are “ too nice to use”. Ha ha.
