Recommendations for a new set Please.
I mainly drill wood and brick (the 1950's bricks in my house are sooo much stronger than modern ones)

An SDS drill with SDS bits is best for tough to drill masonry, although no good for wood."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52639174","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Roger_Irrelevant"},"datePublished":"2024-04-25T11:32:36.000Z","text":"If you want a decent set that will last forever get a set of Cobalt ones for wood/metal e.g.
Sealey AK4702 Cobalt Drill Bit Set 25pc Metric
.
I paid £60 with one of eBay's semi-regular 20% off codes.
For masonry get DeWalt, you should only need 5,6,8mm say, get the ones with \"fluted shaft\".

When they wear out , go dull or don't cut properly get them sharpened or simply replace them. A new drill branded bit will out perform a dull worn premium drill bit.
If you are drilling tough masonry or concrete invest in a sds drill."}],"commentCount":5,"interactionStatistic":4,"articleSection":"Ask"}
