Does anyone use the collection of bits from either company? HF has them for 20 a piece for fractional sizes but I don't see metric. The woodriver is available in both, but i'm betting HF carries the metric in store.

I'm more worried of quality though. The bits...are they decent from HF? I could buy a bit for every kit I want to make, but these are priced a whole lot better!

These are the ones in question...

HF choice 1
29 Piece High Speed Steel Drill Bit Set

HF choice 2
29 Piece Brad Point Wood Drill Bit Set

Woodcraft option
Buy WoodRiver 29 Piece Fractional Inch Brad Point Drill Bit Index Set at Woodcraft

Don't know anything about Woodriver but I have never seen metric bits at our HF.

I have used 3 or 4 of the 29pc sets over the last 6 years drilling metal, making model engines. They are very good for the money. I think I still have 3 new sets of those in my cabinet. I got smart and bought me a Drill Doctor and don't ever need to buy bits any more.

Never tried their Brad Point bits.

I just bought their big set. The index sucks but the bits appear to be ok. The catch on the lid has a problem being a catch that stays caught.

I have the Woodcraft sets, both standard and metric. No complaints. They are sharp and every one I have used so far is straight and cuts cleanly.
