Was looking for a set of decent brad point drill bits. I found this
Craftsman set:

I know not everyone speaks highly of Craftsman quality... I'm hoping that
since they are 6 for $40, there are quite good (3/8" shanks). I get wary
when I see bits for between a quarter and $2 each. I guess the main
issue might be "run out".

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

Thanks,
Bill

If you are serious about a good set of brad poing pits, "Colt" Twinland "5
STAR" brad point bits. The larger sizes used in a DP do not need a backer
board to prevent tear out on the back side.
Pricey but these actually come sharp to start with and are made of HSS.

Colt makes a less expensive bit but the "5 Star" bits are the best.

I have several and love them!
