I have not used a brace and bit much generally just using a power drill but I am wanting to use one more. My old box of random bits got wet and they are all rusty and while I likely will clean them up at some point I am considering just getting a set. Full sets of Irwin or Jennings on ebay with a box are pretty reasonably priced, and I am comfortable sharpening them. There are also sets out there like wood owl which get pretty pricy for the whole set up, but the 6 bit set in 1/8 increments is not that bad.
What are the thoughts on which way to go?
