I'd be a bit leery about widgetsupply
as the price for 10 drill bits is ridiculously low - my guess is that they're of very low quality. I recently picked-up a package of 12 #79s (#80s seem to break instantly when I merely glance at them), but the total cost was in the high twenties if I recall correctly. That's roughly the same price at my former source for small drill bits.
In the past, I had bought small drill bits at a now-long-gone hobbyshop, and #79s & #80s were three bucks and change for just one.
I currently buy small drill bits at E.M. Precise Tool Ltd., in Stoney Creek, Ontario...about a 15 minute drive from here. While they're fairly pricey, they are well-made (from Japan) and stand-up well.
