Its funny you post this as just today I received my drill bit order
from tinker's emporium. apparently they were on vacation all
february...
I haven't had a chance to use them but they seem to be fairly well
made bits with 1/8" shaft. If they are any good I'll order more as
they are pretty inexpensive.
