Thanks diyguys,

They are useful if you have limited space in your toolbox as they will drill almost anything.

They would be especially useful if you had to drill a masonry wall and there was a steel lintel in the way etc.

The drill bits are not brilliant on steel, but they do go through eventually!

I might have it in the low speed, not checked to be honest.

If it breaks I have a spare set of brushes and trigger that I got from ebay :wink:

Great drill bits.
Have them for battening just hammer setting through all!

I use these a lot and the biggest plus they have over standard metal drill bits is they dont shatter.They bend instead which is much better than trying to extract a broken drill bit from a lintel.
Not as fast to drill metal but go through masonery with ease and then into the lintel too without swapping bits.

Like everything they have their place in the tool box and these will take a fair bit of abuse over normal dedicated drill bits.
