  Looks good!
  
  If you don't mind me asking, I'd like to know why you included the edges/verts I highlighted in the image below. You're obviously a lot more experienced than I, so I was just seeking some input on if they're necessary and if so why.

  Thanks!

  Bakes turned out pretty well.
  
  One thing I noticed is the cord has some bake errors on it. You could probably just paint these out though. Cord is round and smooth without much surface detail anyway.

  Yep, both right. Ill remove those edges and get to the cord once I start texturing. Thanks.

  Your drill bit looks weird, typically a drill bit is a cylinder with spiraling grooves cut into it rather than extruded out. Also, they usually don't taper down to such a sharp point.
  
  If this is a game asset I'd suggest going with a chunky drill bit with a low twist rate so it doesn't end up looking like a bunch of visual noise.
  
  Everything else is looking nice.
