To start, I would suggest:
- Buy a decent drill chuck, a spotting drill and some decent drills. I suggest wire sized drills first (most smaller screws use wire size drills before tapping), then fractional, then letter sized drills. Eventually you will use them all.
I know these are probably pushing the description of decent, but Harbor Freight has a 115 piece black oxide drill bit set for $35, wire gauge 1-60, A-Z and fractional bits 1/64-1/2" by 1/64s. That is cheaper for all three types than any one of those sets from a name brand.
I recently picked up a set of 3, 120 degree cobalt spotting drills (1/8", 3/16", 1/4") from an ebay vender for $16 including shipping.
