Dril bit sets

Wots the point of sets of masonry drill bits then? I keep seeing them on special in my local Screwfix depot.I only ever use 6mm & 8mm for plugging walls in general, and a 5mm for Multi Montes or the small yellow plugs.Looking at typical SDS sets;5.5, 7, 8 and 10mm.5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8 mm.Since Fischer & Rawlplug dominate the market with 6mm & 8mm plugs being standard, the first set is no good to man nor beast since it doesn't have a 6mm bit, the latter set is better, but what would you use 5.5 or 7mm for?

But it never mattered, because you were using Rawlplastic, complete with asbestos fibre filler, and little metal dibber.
