On the other hand, I bought a multi bit (step drill) from Harbor Freight for
about $6. Compared to $35 from Greenlee and others that seemed like a bargain.
Since I only had one project in mind I figured that it was a good choice. I
had
16 holes to bore in .065 aluminum sheet. The harbor freight step drill bit
succeeded in boring one hole. After that, it was useless. I replaced it with
a
Greenlee which bored the 16 holes and is still going strong. A friend has a
$35
version that he has used for years in his profession as an electrician.

Norm - Last year I bought five Chinese 1/2" angle grinders on sale from
Harbor Freight for $15 each. I bought so many because I expected them to
fail soon but a well-made Western tool can cost ten times the Chinese
units. I like to have several grinders with different wheels so I don't
have to keep changing wheels. It turned out the only failure mode so far
has been that the switch failed or a wire broke in the power cord near the
motor.
