I still have the pack of right-angle drill bits I got about 30 years
ago, on my first trip into HF in Escondido, CA. I think they're half
lead, half weak steel. The first one I tried using bent 90 degrees,
right in the middle, instead of breaking. I've never laughed so hard.
I keep it for the warm memories. g

You're being unfair. That's what they meant by "right-angle drill bits."
They were being completely truthful.

The package actually said "13 Piece Twist Drill Set".

Oh my Buddha! I just got the package out and it appears that I had
inadvertently dissed China and HF. This was from a Handyman store and
is clearly marked "Made in Japan", back in the days that Japanese
stuff was crap. My apologies to China and HF.
