Micro drill bits... check these out

I have been using them in my Dremel.  Holding it very steady.  Doing it with your fingers will have too much movement.  The shank is 1/8" and should fit in a pin vise.  All of mine have a 1/8" collet.  Did you unscrew the handle?  There should be 2 collets.

I ordered 3 sets, and received them quickly. And of course I just had to try the #96 - and promptly broke it. Oh well, I have 5 more...

One question, how do you all use these? The body is way to big to put into either of my pin vices. I broke the one using just my hands - it works, but my fingers kept getting in the way!

My drills arrived today .  Posted from the USA on the 3rd delivered on the 7th in the UK, great service.

I have micro bits from Harbor freight and the break very easily. $5.99 for a set is a reasonable price for those who want a set of them. I rarely use mine and when I do, I'm extremely careful with them. My set has other types of bits as well. So I think that I will continue with the Harbor freight sets.

Cool, I'll check them out when my supply runs low.  I've broken more #80's than I can remember, they snap VERY easily. I would advise wearing safety glasses, especially if you plan to chuck one into a rotary tool.

I’m just looking forward to using these drills and not having to constantly change the collets every time I use a different size drill (normally not being able to find the smallest size collet!).  

If those are solid carbide they will break quit easy.

Now that is a nice set of bits. I should have browsed the tools section a bit more before I bought my HF set. But then again impulse buys are the best.

I have received a reply, and have now ordered some, I will have to wait a little while for delivery. I looked at some equivelants in the UK and one company wanted £117 ($181) for a set of 10 !!!!!!!!!!.

I'm looking at these, but I have Emailed them to find out how much shipping would be to the UK.

Thanks for the tip Marc! I just ordered three sets myself. 

Happy New Year!
