I think they're the same store as 
http://store.yahoo.com/drillcity/pcbkit.html, a Yahoo storefront. New bits, 
at the Yahoo link, $21; resharpened at the direct link, $16. Another 
difference between the two is buying sets of just the sizes you need, versus 
assortments. Hole sizes tend to be 24, 32, and 40 mil (#73, #67, #60).

I just ordered the new set, but in the future will probably just get a 5- or 
10-pack each of resharpened #74 and #68; less than $1 per bit. It would be 
just dandy by me if they got dull rather than broke.

Mike, if you have a few odd-sized bits to get rid of, I expect to need some 
for mount tabs on USB jacks and stuff. I don't know right this moment what 
sizes precisely, but probably something between #60 and #40. Do you have any 
to sell?
