Ordered 2x of each.
It split it into two orders (by size, so $6.69 each order) & got $3 no rush on each order.
Not too shabby

As of 3:40 AM CDT, 8-3-23, the 5/16" bit shows it is not 'expired', as Staff had marked it.
It still shows the low $2.79 price for me.

Pretty cool if you have a specific use case like security system installs. Otherwise, probably better just to get an extension and bit set.

I agree for the most part, as depending on the user, these can be used somewhat frequently or with other users more like 'once in a blue moon'.
I have a few extensions, but have run into situ's where the extensions wouldn't work out because the coupler end on the extension is 5/8" diameter (an Irwin extension) and I needed to drill two 'blind/hidden' holes in a framework where the lumber pieces had a 6" to 8" space between them, yet it wasn't out in the open.

Tho for most people, this is the type of item/tool that you'd hate to miss out on the deal, with there being a good chance that you'd need a 12" long bit 10 to 20 years down the road. 😂

5/16" is $9.88 for me as of 10AM EST. Got 1/4" - thanks!

It's been a while since my shipping choices included a no-rush with rewards option. Not sure why. I thought Amazon discontinued it.

The $5.00 digital credit ($2.50 per order), when "No rush Saturday delivery was selected (by Amazon sending each size separately, broken into 2 orders) was the 'icing on the cake'.
I only began seeing that digital credit/no-rush option return in the past month or two. It sucks that Amazon doesn't show how much credit you have on your account, so you have to keep tabs on that and each credits expiration date on your own.
Built up about $20 bucks worth and been cashing in on it the past 2 weeks.

I've been trying to piece together a more complete 'set' of the longer bits as each size has price drops. Already had one of the 1/4", 2 of the 3/16", and 2 of the 3/8", so this order was for one more 1/4" and two of the 5/16".
My goal is having 2 of each size. The larger sizes don't drop in price as much, or that often, but I already have several older & well used ones.

Thanks and repped! I was unaware it existed.
I've even questioned 3 Amazon reps and each said I'd have to call in and ask what my points total was, each time. It figures.
It's showing I have about $7.50 remaining in there, after using a bunch recently, but I can tell the $5 from this purchase hasn't added in yet. Maybe when the item ships.​

Great deal. Last week I paid $12 for a 1/4 x 18" to install solar panel tile hook mounts. This 12" would have worked also.
