You mean those bits I linked? If you make your own protectors, they're well worth the money. The holes are consistently cleaner. Plus, because I only use them on plastic, they never wear. Last forever. My regular bits are a mix of older and new bits, as I'm sure most other guys bits are here. If you have a perfect drill bit set, you aren't doing enough work. Do you really want to use a used steel bit to drill a new pinball ramp?
They don't cost much more than a regular steel bit and last forever. Hardly overkill if you drill plastic more than once a year. The time saved cleaning up holes is worth it alone. They also look a little different than steel bits. So you can throw them in the same bit container and still tell them apart. Even if they're the same size.
