Speeed’s take
The vintage set cost the equivalent of $140 and out-drilled the $15 modern budget bits — but snapped in bare hands. A modern high-speed steel set at the same real price went deeper than either. Old high-carbon steel is sharper and more brittle; new HSS is simply better.
“$140 for drill bits. Oh, dude. It broke. You just did that with your hands.”
