Went with a cheap no-name drill bit set at a flea market in Ohio...

I was buying a used toolbox from a guy near Cincinnati and he threw in this beat up set of bits for free. Honestly I figured they'd snap on the first screw but I ran them through like 40 holes in some hard oak last weekend. Not a single one broke and they cost me zero dollars. Has anyone else gotten lucky with random flea market finds or am I just lucky?

Grabbed a set of old Craftsman bits at a garage sale once for like two bucks, figured they'd be junk but they've outlasted every brand new set I've bought. They even survived a project where I accidentally hit a nail (oops) and the bit just laughed at me.

Oh YEAH, @nora_dixon knows what's up. Old Craftsman bits are practically indestructible.
