Where to get angle drill bits?

[OM2]

I saw a video on utube... it was some american company...
They had an 'angle drill bit'.
This would drill into wood and leave an angle - so when you put the screw in, the head didnt stick out.

They also had special screws - that where hard in some parts and weak in others (apparently, this was a good thing to have!).

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

The video looked old. So I was assuming there would be lot of different brand names now.

Thanks.

What about countersinking or drilling a slightly larger screw-head sized hole after the main hole has been drilled?

They use snap-off security bolts on most car steering locks. Not easy to get off but that’s the point! Similar to this:

At first I thought you meant countersink bits too, but you don't mean a pocket hole jig do you?

Various brands available:- Kreg, Trend, Wolfcraft, cheapo Silverline, etc...

@rsgaz thanks mate!
that's it
the one i saw on utube was kreg i think
screwfix seems so expensive
amazon has many cheaper alternative

EDIT Most are like £30 upward... to say £70 on Amazon
Then there's a cheap mini one priced at £5 something - it's for the same purpose - but without clamp.

I was thinking of buying - just to try out.
Or should I save my money and invest in a better one?

I bought the cheap one. You don't get drill bits with that and, ideally, you need a drill bit that drills a hole with a shoulder inside so that you can use pan head screws. If you just dril a hole and use a standard countersunk screw the wood will, more than likely, split. The other problem with the cheapo one is that you don't get a clamp and using standard quick grip type clamps doesn't really work and trying to drill the holes accurately whist not using a clamp is virtually impossible.

What do you want to use pocket hole joinery for...thats where to start really.
