Title: Best quality drill tools etc.
Post by: andrew hamshare on August 12, 2012, 09:37:32 am

 ???
I've tended to buy a lot of cheap n nasty tools in the past (false economy and tgey fail at the most inopportune times too) but am gradually upgrading.

Currently I am after recommendations for a decent set of drill bits. I have some individual masonry from machine mart but need some steel ones. Max dia is to fit some seat belt bolts, about 3/4". Could do with a few pilot hole bits too as the drill it fairy keeps stealing them.

Cheers in advance folki

I presume you will be using a portable hand drill and not a bench/pillar drill?
Anything over 12mm I would recommend spade end bits or auger bits for drilling into wood.
If you are drilling metal a portable magnetic drill would be ideal to avoid breaking your wrist!
I have used the dewalt extreme bits up to 13mm for drilling angle iron and they are quite good.
