Hi,

I was just wondering if there are any online stores where I could buy drill bits individually? And the smaller ones specifically, 0.3 and 04mm ones.

I guess this the usual situation, now I'm on my third set of drill bits, just because the one or two smallest bits are so easily broken.
These two last sets I've bought have drill bits between 0.3mm and 1.2mm, with two bits of each size. From the first, I broke the 0.3mm ones and had to buy a whole new set...
I wish the manufacturers could include more of the smallest size bits instead of just doubling everything. But that wouldn't be good business I suppose...

So if you know a place to buy a bunch of just the smallest bits, I'd be grateful to know.
Thanks in advance.
