That's badass

Since we are on topic, which are better for drilling into metal, this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ruko-214-214-Drill-Bit-Set-Steel-Case-Ground-HSS-19-Piece-1-10mm-/150963503457?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item2326204161

or this,

thanks for advice

Either one will be fine for your needs. People buy TiN coated stuff because it's shiny not because they see a benefit from it.

At the shop we use mostly black oxide or bright finish twist drills without issue. If I want performance I'm using solid carbide or insert drills.

Just make sure they're not Chinese drills.

Interesting factoid-

My shop recycled 79,000 pounds of metal this year.

Kinda cool

Well played!
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe
