I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the imperial set of HSS drill bits I bought. I used one to drill into mild steel and it went blunt less than 1/8” into the material. The technical desk explained that there are several qualities of HSS... cobalt being the best. The drills should have carried an advisory list of suitable materials. This set is worse than useless for their intended application. A complete waste of money....

I brought 4 drills and the 3 were good to a nice standard there was one of the 6mm Drills that was bent and in my frustration I threw it away

Great service but drill bits aren’t the strongest, 3mm ones snap very easily!

Great website easy to use, and easy ordering system, I would advise caution when choosing your product, I ordered, amongst other items, some 1/4" has jobber bits, something I've used for years the bits that arrived are hopeless, no good for steel and they wobbled in the chuck so not much good for anything else, when I spoke to a very helpful bloke from technical he apologised and said he would send me a better grade of bit, 2 days later I recieved another pack of hss jobber bits, now I have 20 useless bits 😐

Whilst the bits that are larger than 1mm are as described I have found the ones smaller than 1mm are not, the smaller they are the greater the inaccuracies, now I know this I can use a micrometer to assess each bit before use, so all is not lost. At the price point I can't complain really, and the speed of despatch and delivery is second to none.

Quick delivery and all items were correct and present. I am a builder so I need the bits for professional use. Very poor quality, I bought 10 x 5.5mm and 10 x 6.5mm SDS bits. I have found the bits are not manufactured straight so wobble while drilling into soft handmade bricks. Then they just snap with normal use. Really disappointed and definitely don't think they are manufactured in the UK. They might even be made out of shortbread biscuit.

Good service with quick turnaround, very cheap but you get what you pay for, HSS bits, SDS bits and holes saws we’re all fine but flat/spade bits are poor quality and I wouldn’t buy them again.

Good service but the quality of the drill bits really let me down on the project. You get what you pay for.

Drill bits are great as are the screwdriver bits however the bit holders were poor and the shafts snapped on first use of each one

Luckily the drill bits I purchased came in multiples of ten, they were extra long and small diameters, however I didn't expect some to be so bent that they'd snap off at higher speeds in my Dremel. That said, some were fine, they were fairly inexpensive and perhaps that's why they came in multiples of ten. Quality control could be improved, but I would buy from UK Drills again.

Unfortunately the 17/64 drill, is putting it bluntly, bent, like a Banana! The remainder are good, well packaged and seem to be of acceptable quality for the price. A replacement drill would be good chaps?

Used UK drills on recommendation by guys on FB group. Was looking for a source of reasonably priced accurate drill bits. Excellent service and customer service when something not quite right, and good value. Have not had time to check all the bits I ordered but despite the good value a bit disappointed at the number of bits that are out of true.

4 6mm TCT Drills ordered to drill 8 holes in 3mm A4 Stainless steel 3 drills tips broke off easily, job compleated. I purchased 4 in anticipation of brackages & proved the right thing to do. I could see some tiny flaws around th edges of the tip to steel weld however would buy again as will have more similar work in the future so will always anticipate extra drills.

Ok for what they cost. The larger ones should be used in a press - the sides are not long enough to keep them running true. If I needed them for heavier use I'd spend the money and buy something better.

My recent purchase of a 20mm hss drill bit came simply wrapped in paper with no protective hard case. This is penny pinching for an expensive bit which cannot be mixed in with all the other drill bits in case it is damaged by friction with hard surfaces. Not good enough!

Hi there, very reluctant to be slightly negative but the screwdriver bits I purchased from you do seem very prone to “stripping” the grip is very good but get damaged much more easily than expected as I understood they were especially good quality. Other than that all good - regards John Harris.

I had issues with the SDSplus adapter. The pilot drill clamp screw protrudes too far out, so that 35mm core was narrower. Had to source a grub screw which screwed in flush with the adapter. The pilot drill is rubbish, blunt after half a brick and little material to be able to sharpen. Core bit was alright. Long way from being "pro" tools, as described.
