Dremel was also my first power tool. I love having every drill bit size, but my only problem is breaking the smaller ones and trying to find replacements.

Thanks for sharing your story, Brian. And thanks for reading mine! Yes, those tiny drill bits - useful, easily broken, hard to replace. FYI: you can order replacements on Amazon for any of those sizes. Brands like Irwin, Century, Drill America, and MaxTool come up when I search for specific sizes. For higher-quality brands like Chicago-Latrobe and Viking, I've ordered individual bits from Granger Supply. I'm guessing you've already done so, but look around your area for an industrial hardware supplier - these places often have good quality drills in stock. My local favorite go-to - Marshall's Industrial Hardware in San Diego - keeps all the sizes in HSS for Viking brand drills. These are my everyday bits, knowing I can get a spare at any time. Hope this helps!
