I have a gift card left ovrer from christmas and was going to get a few bits from Drillman 1 with it. I have these in my shopping cart so far

 ![20180116_161957](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/e/a/ea5f933aa8a1718c8940bebacf5e7a78168e8030.jpg)  
I have done a good bit of searching with the search function and got some advise already in regards to 1/16 bits and getting tapered one. But I cant find any on Drillman1 page,I want to be able to cut through 6/12 and 18mm mdf with them so I opted for long reach 1/16th’s  
My question is , would you go for different bits than the ones I have in my cart in the photo above?  
The list of bits I have so far are  
2 x 1/8 fishtail down cut  
2 x 1/8 straigh cut  
2 x 1/8 fishtail up cut  
10 x ball nose up cut  
9 x 2mm ball nose up cut  
1 x 3.2 mm stubby straight cut  
1 x 6.1mm straight cut  
1 x 10.35mm straight cut  
1 x 90° v bit  
1 x 60° v bit 6mm shank(no collet)  
10 x 20° v bit

Would the bits in my cart be a good addition to these or would you recommend anything else?  
Most of the links I found in the search are fot [amazon.us](http://amazon.us) and don’t deliver to Ireland.

If you really want a long 1/16 bit, I suggest you get lots of them because they will break quickly.

I just bought some bits from Drillman. Good shipping and great pricing.
