One of the most useful gifts I’ve ever received from Chris is a 50 Piece Mini Drill Bit Set (#20575) from Rockler. I can no longer find it on the Rockler site, but there’s a similar set (possibly the same set, different branding) available right now from Garrett Wade.
Why would I want so many of the same size bits? Well, for me, they are darn handy when teaching, since several of the projects I teach involve cut nails and/or square-shanked nails, for which you must drill pilot holes. These bits cover the pilot hole size for most (though not all) of my nail pilot-hole needs.
And these bits are small – small bits break more easily than large ones. So even if you don’t teach and thus have a need for eight 1/8" drill bits at one time, I’ll bet you eventually break a 1/8" drill bit (I have), so it’s nice to have another on hand.
And for less than $30, why not?
