$12 at Harbor freight. Worked fine for me the whole time, a mechanic once brought his professional unibit over and he couldn't tell the difference other than that he "felt" it might be a little faster to make holes but in the end he conceded that the HF works.
I say spend the money on drill bits however, there is a difference there.

Subject: Good deal on Unibits at Napa
Just thought I would throw this out there if anybody is building their tool kit and needs unibits. Napa has a sale on part # VG 3018008 which contains Unibit #1 (1/8 - 1/2) and unibit # 4 (3/16 - 7/ and 7 turbomax drill bits all for $45.00. I think I paid almost that for the #3 that came with my tool kit. I just got mine today and it comes in a nice case also. The sale is good till the end of March but I believe it is a closeout . I still marvel how easy unibits make holes in sheet metal compared to regular drill bits.

I went both routes and found the following with one of the the HF
unibits. After repeated use in several different materials, I notice
that suddenly, it stopped cutting. It appeared (to my untrained eye)
that the bit had a very hard but thin surface. It cut as well as the
higher priced unibit up to that point. Then, once it wore through the
thin hard coating, it became worthless. Can anyone validate such an
observation?
Of course I simply grabbed one of the other unibits that came in the
same $12 package and I still had the high priced bit in reserve.
Whatever the difference, the HF bits seem like a good deal. They'll
work until they don't, then you can replace them, twice, for the price
of the high dollar bits.

It is in their tool and equipment sale catalog. I think you may have to call or stop by a store to get the special. I called to order mine.
