Harbor Fraight has 10 packs of 1/16" Ti Nitrade bits for $1.99  Was just there looking for some other crap and grabbed a pack. A lot better than paying like $1.99 for a 2 pack at Lowes or HD especailly at the rate we tend to destroy them. They also have ten packs of 3/32" for I think the same price. |

Let us know how they work. There are some things you just shouldnt buy from HB, you get what you pay for. I had a set of drill bits from there and only have the big ones left. |

i'm sure they're crap but in this case it's quantity over quality - pretty much any 1/16" bit does not last more than a couple of bolts, at least not with me operating the drill. |

i'm sure my slop is not up to aviation standards it sort of gets addictive after awhile, start walking around the bike looking for stuff to wire - even wired some stuff on the street bike while I was at it
