Better construction & materials, plus impact-ready. You'll break or throw away all 20 of those long before even one of these will give out (if you're careful).

I'm not going to believe that any 1/16" drill bit is "impact ready" - unless that means ready to break...
I stopped buying these tiny bits in hex shanks. Get a straight old style shank cobalt bit and drag out the adjustable chuck to hold it. These snap and dull and worst in the tiny sizes so halfway through the first hole snapped or dull. These coated bits can't cut more than wood or plastic.
I ordered packs from this seller and very happy with them drilling steel tubing. Here is the seller I like LU&MN M35 Jobber Drill Bits, 1/2", 5 Pcs so you can look up the name and find the bits besides this last order of 1/2 that I got. I think M35 solid cobalt and M42 are the good ones. Coatings ad selling is mostly bs in my opinion. LU&MN M35 Cobalt HSS Jobber Length Twist Drill Bit with Straight Shank, Heavy Duty, Drilling for Cast Iron, Heat-Treated Steel, Stainless Steel and Other Hard Materials, 10 pcs, 1/16"$10

Use some oil on anything other than wood.
