I have a Drill Doctor in storage.  I used to buy bundles of what looked to 
be HSS bits at garage sales then pass them through the DD.  It does a great 
job in sharpening and restoring bits.  It has been a while since I have 
seen any drill bits at garage sales.

At one time there were several large aerospace companies in San Diego.  As 
machinists retired then died their stuff would show up in some great garage 
sales.  Most of the companies have shut down to scatter into other 
Congressional districts and Asia so you no longer see those really great 
garage sales.
