Approximately a month ago I came across those drill bits. The price was $5.00 cheaper than Proxxon so I decided to try and ordered few packs. Yesterday I received the package and was surprised, they were made in Germany! You can buy by a piece or pack of 6. The store has common sizes in 2 increments ranging from 0.6 to 2.1mm. I tried then drilling wood and brass very happy with the results.

Good buy - please inform us later your experience, if they are breaking fast, or not.
The Proxxon have 0,5mm, 0,8mm and some bigger sizes. Here I have good experience with the 0,5mm which stands long (in my handdrill)
I am still searching for really good drills somehow between 0,3 and 0,5mm
 
are you using them also for drilling or only for carving works?
both. I got different kind of bits
got these sphere and I got these to

I used them in the dril stand to use them like a cutter and I use them in my nail polishing machine to carve by hand, and they need to be strong to use them for that.
The smallest I got are the sphere 0,3 mm, and even this one don't break.
