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,

And

if that's too many...

At less than a quater each, average, they are likely high quality
Chinese bits. The TiN coating just makes them LOOK expensive and/or
good.


The actually work fine, the ones that aren't bent. At that price you
can afford to throw a few away.
