$Drill bits galore. The drill index at the top I got at Costco years ago. It has all of the numbered, fractional and A-Z sizes. I've got 2 different types of micro-stop countersinks. The one in the case came from Avery Tools. The other countersink bit set has interchangeable inserts for the hole size, and it comes with different countersink angle bits in 87, 100 and 120 degrees. A unibit in the center and some hole saws. The little springy things on the left are to keep the drill bits from going too far into the hole you are drilling. Along the bottom are some 12 inch long bits for getting to areas that are too tight for a drill motor to get into.$
