Also, go online and find a drill bit set that has all the wire gauge size
(#XX) drill bits from at least 1 to 60.
Add that to your shop tool collection. It will come in handy over and over
to be able to find the exact size bit you need for a given task.

Yes! The super drill bit set is one of the most used tools in my shop.
Harbor Freight has a cheap titanium set that is on sale more often than not
for less than $20. The bits are okay, but I replaced al the common bits
(#40, #30, #12, #19) as they dulled with better quality. I always have the
bit size that I need.
