That cheap drill bit set cost me a whole day last week

I bought a $20 kit of titanium bits off Amazon because I'm a cheapskate. First hole into a metal the box for a Vista panel, the bit snapped clean off. Spent 4 hours driving back and forth to the supply house to get a proper $8 DeWalt bit. Anyone else learn this lesson the hard way and have a go-to brand that actually lasts?

Yeah I kinda disagree here. I've been using those cheap Amazon sets for years and they work fine for most stuff. Maybe you just got a bad one or were pushing too hard on that first hole. The $8 DeWalt bits are good but I've snapped those too if you're not careful.
