Review of Milwaukee 48-89-1105 1/16-to-1/2-Inch Titanium-Coated Twist Drill Bit Assortment in Plastic Index, 20-Piece

This set has a lot of great qualities:

-A nice little index box to keep everything in.The box even has a little latch to keep it closed.
-Flats machined into the shafts to eliminate slipping.
-Titanium nitride coating, which is nice for basic homeowner bits.But according to Wikipedia, "A titanium nitride bit cannot properly be sharpened, as the new edge will not have the coating, and will not have any of the benefits the coating provided."But, who wants to go back to black oxide when you can get these shiny golden bits for so cheap?
-The price is right.
-Your friends might think you spent a wad, since the "Milwaukee" brand name is right there on the box.

Well, there is the problem right there.To get a nice set of "Milwaukee" bits for this price is just too good to be true.The small ones break easily, and the sharpness varies significantly from bit to bit.I think I would buy them again if I could get them for a flea market price, where I could buy 5 sets and just toss them as I go through them.At first they appear to be a steal, but it turns out that they were way overpriced!

I'm going to keep the box though.Maybe as I throw the bits away one by one, I'll replace them with better ones.
