If you look closely, Elena is displaying two different sets — one a twist drill set
and the other a brad point bit set —340 bits in all. Why?

This is
why. I must have 6 different sets like this around the shop. The 1/8" is missing
— maybe it stayed with the pop-rivets. The 5/16" went to the drawer.... and so
on. Fact is, all the missing bits in each of the cases is because I (spelled
"I") neglected to put them back where they belonged. I wouldn't confess
such a thing if I didn't think that there are a lot of woodworkers (you?) with the same
situation.

The case
has a quantity of each size drill bit. There is a method to how they selected the
quantities but hopefully the quantities will cover my needs for any years to come.
Not only will I have complete sets in the shop, I won't have to buy a missing
drill bit that is plastic carded and at a crazy price at my local hardware store — I
mean really, a 1/8" twist drill for $3.79?

And for you who think I am lucky to be getting things like these free. Not these. I
paid the price. They are on sale at Woodcraft for $29.99 and they offer both twist drills
and brad point.

Proof
positive. I really have this invoice copied to show how inexpensive the UPS shipping was.
This was one heavy package. But I love shopping on-line. I ordered this on Sunday and
received it on Thursday.
Enough said. I pass on to you this tidbit for what it is worth. Do you
have any "best buys?" I would love to hear about them.
