Make sure you get at least 2 sets each of bits for wood and metal - they cut differently and using wood bits on metal will ruin them, as will using metal bits on wood - always lube while metal cutting - to preserve the bits (light machine oil is best) DON'T CHEAP OUT ON THE BITS, or saw blades (reciprocating saws are your friend!) or carbide cutting wheels. Just my .02 from about 7 years in commercial construction and a lifetime of woodworking.
