Seriously though, twist drills are great if you are using a drill press. But for drilling holes bigger than about 3/8" diameter, in steel, with a hand drill you really can't beat a uni-bit. Nice true round holes and it doesn't try to rip the drill out of your hand.

It's ok to embrace new technology when working on old stuff.... really, it is.
