I know not everyone speaks highly of Craftsman quality...

(You owe me a monitor and keyboard, Bill.)


I'm hoping
that since they are 6 for $40, there are quite good (3/8" shanks).

I"d almost bet they were made in China, just like the $1 bits.


I get
wary when I see bits for between a quarter and $2 each. I guess the
main issue might be "run out".

No, steel quality and initial sharpness. I was happily surprised.


Where would you be shopping for brad point drill bits (for joinery)?

Thanks,
Bill

I have some of these, and they're SteelX brand. Surprisingly good, but
I'm not using them on hardwoods. YMMV

Really, try them out. What do you have to lose?

Not much!
