Abstract: A twist drill for use, predominantly by non-professional do-it-yourself workers incorporates a flute architecture with an internal ridge for promoting the break up of chips into short length components. The tip of the twist drill includes an axial relief construction for improved performance across a wide variety of materials, and a highly sloped face for prompting transport of chips away from the drill tip.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a packaging, storage and display system for articles, such as small tools, like drill bits and the like. An index for holding the articles is pivotably mounted in a case. A rack, which may be selected from a variety of rack structures, is mounted within the index, for holding articles having particular sizes and shapes. A frame structure is resistively pivotably mounted on the index, so that the frame structure may be pivoted to a particular position relative to the index, and will tend to remain in that position, until a force in excess of a particular amount is exerted on the frame structure. The index and/or the frame structures may be interchangeably mounted.

Abstract: A package for like articles, especially elongated articles, such as drill bits and the like, is provided with a plurality of compartments or sectioned off regions, for the containment of an individual article for substantially unfettered visual inspection; for the containment of a further plurality of articles identical to the exposed visual article, and for indicia as required by the manufacturer and/or required by law. The package is configured to be presented in a hanging manner from retail display shelving.
