Drill Bits Galore

Its at rock bottom prices one is most likely to go wrong IME. But maybe you'll have better luck with those than I had with B&D (ugh, spit). Its hard to believe nice new drill bits cant even drill soft pine, but sometimes tis so.

BTW I just got my backwards dril bits, loking forward to using them... and playing a few pranks :)

I bought a 50 piece set of B&D bits for £10 on this basis. They were such a tight fit in the plastic case and the drills were such crap quality that by the time you managed to lever one out, it was bent. Still, live and learn as they say...

masonry drills,

Just drilled some holes in a fibre cement tube (*) using a 4mm masonry drill - applied moderate hand pressure and it bent like a bit of solder!!!! Bent it back by hand and carried on - but oh boy talk about cheap / poor quality imported rubbish. Don't know the brand as it was in a job lot, but I'm sure it didn't come from Sheffield !

Indeed, along these lines I bought a set of 10 x 6" screwdriver bits for £0.99, the tip snapped off the first posidrive bit, the first screw I put in with it, the other 9 also went straight in the bin.
