Which Drill Bits to Buy

[RDB85]

Ive been looking at building up my tool collection. I’ve bought a Dewalt kit a DCK211C2 kit. If anyone could recommend some bits to buy that would be great.

Depends what you are drilling into but these I use time after time:

Bosch Multi Construction TCT Drill Bit Set - https://www.toolstation.com/shop/Power+Tool+Accessories/d80/Masonry+Drill+Bits/sd1350/Bosch+Multi+Construction+TCT+Drill+Bit+Set/p66729

Obviously neither of these are for SDS....

Would these be okay:

I’m just after a set that has everything in it rather than buying individual sets. As the set I have bought is a Combi Drill and Impact Driver. Thanks

You can try buying kits but you'll find they don't last .....except the sizes you never or rarely use.

Thanks for that. It's my first Drill, as I am looking to build up my tool collection slowly. I was just thinking that a kit, for now, would be okay.

Half the pieces in the set you would never use, buy some standard masonry and HSS bits, a magnetic adapter for screwdriver bits and some standard bits Phillips Posidrive etc, the drills may not have the oompf to do the heavy work.

Buying tools is addictive............ Next it will be an SDS drill and an impact driver......... If you are drilling metal get a centre punch, a manual one.

For HSS bits Heller are usually good, wood flat bits go for Bosch as you can get a decent set for under £15

These are my favourite wood bits at the moment. Seconds to drill a 4 inch 100 year old joist with no effort. They also do a 3 pack in this length or a 5 pack of stubby bits.

It is yes. The drills are only a 12v. I have seen this for £20: https://www.NoLinkingToThis/p/dewalt-straight-shank-combination-drill-bit-set-100-pieces/13266

For £20 its not bad, ditch the hole saw and nut spinners take what you need and sling in to a bag as otherwise you will come obsessive (like some on here) in keeping every compartment filled, (don't laugh you know you do so)

Just to add if you are a sparks or training to be one then get a trade card from Halfords as you may need a socket set.

I’m in the process of training to be a spark. I’ve already got a 200 piece socket set from Halfords. I may buy that kit for £20. Anything else you would recommend from screwfix?

 

[RDB85]

I’ve gone with the set for £20 for now. I will price up some other bits as and when I need them.
