I put in a order for this the other day seeing as there so cheep at £15. I've got them today and tried some off the bits on some wood and they seem so fine. I've still got to try them on other things like bricks but I'm sure they are going to be fine for things like that as well.

So for the price, quality and how good they are there getting a 10/10 from me and I would recommend them to any one who is after cheep drill bits.

Thanks for the feedback and reviews.

Thanks for the review Paul.

I have a set of these and I only tried the metal bits, then never used it again.

Whilst drilling some mild steel the HSS drill bit snapped in two and nearly took my eye out. I can't remember if I had my safety glasses on, or if it just missed me. I have never used any of them since!

Np.

I've never had that happen to me ever, I've only had drill bits snap why drilling in walls and it braking why in there.
This just makes me see how much I rely need to get safety glasses etc.

I'm not 100% sure, this was about 2 - 3 years ago when I first started doing DIY stuff so did not know what drill bits I need for what etc.

Those cheapo sets have their uses. The bits are pretty crap but the key advantage is that you get a case. 90% of a DIY drilling I thing is 5 - 7mm masonry / wood so when they break (and they will!) just buy decent DeWalt bits and you have somewhere to store them. For the other bits you mad use them once in a life time for DIY so cheapo bits is all that is required. Unfortunately I have never found cheap steel bits any good, can't seem to get one hole!

And I almost always use a PZ2 for screwdriving so 2 Wera, PZ2 50mm bits is perfect. But having a wide range of bits is handy as I have to take the cover of the washing machine a while ago, had these very odd star shaped bits with a hole in the middle. Cheapo screwdriver set came in handy!

To be honest I never use any standard masonry bit now, always SDS,
