how do you put holes in stuff?

I really like the Drill Dr. takes any guess work or 2nd guessing out of the equation.

The Dewalt pack I got from Home Depot or Lowes were pretty cheap. I think they were less than the black oxide.
Yea, I avoid it at all cost, but when I had to, I just go so fustrated due to them all snaping and bending much worse than regular old black oxide or cobalt coated.
Good bits I just wanted to give fare warning for hand drill use.

I still have my little 10 bit dewalt set from 2007, I hand drill quite a bit, love them.

I use the el-cheapo uni bits from hf for most of my fab projects that are 1/4" material or less, they hold up surprisingly well and you don't have to hunt and change drills every time you want to drill a different size hole.. a $9 set lasts me a year or better unless i get impatient and toast one..

Yep, i'm pretty sure they are the exact same as the Irwin unibits that are $25 each!

They work just fine and you can find coupons to get the 3 pack for $5.

Uni bits almost seem like cheating

The little pilot point dewalt bit sets work good too, no need for drilling a bunch of holes.
