Anyone know a supplier of decent metal drill bits?, the ones I get only last a short time before they are knackered, ones I get from screwfix are useless, not many hardware shops about these days so have to take pot luck over the Internet,
Any recommendations for a supplier??.

Have you tried the Bosch professional range?

I buy cobalt ones and find that they tend to last well.

Milwaukee Thunderweb drills are what I am using at the moment and are a good comprimise between price and quality.

These people are fine, their cobalt ones are only the same price as other peoples hss ones.
Avoid the cheapest ones, but the rest last well enough for the price.

I have the wurth set of drills here, 1mm-10mm in HSS in 0.5mm steps, there is a couple of hundred drills in the set which is in an orsy box, I find them as good as any of the others like dormer, ruko, presto and such.
I've mentioned them before and some said they werent good but then again there is some people that could bend a crowbar in a bog so you know yourself.
I'm not hard on drills even tho I'd drill a lot of holes so I guess it's horses for courses.
Iirc the set is about the £100 mark.

The DeWalt drill bits are good Cobalt bits with non slip shanks and double sized tip for bigger bits save making pilot holes, well worth the money

I think cutting fluid and correct drill speed is more important than the emphasis on “good” drill bits.
My Dad could blunt a bit and work harden the material on a bean tin.

Dearer but take about half the time and barely get hot. Tend to be a bit brittle though.

I think if you had owned a truly bad cheap set of bits you might change your mind on that. They don't necessarily have to be "good" but just good enough, and sometimes even a brand name doesn't mean all that much these days. Some stuff just isn't fit for purpose, a throwaway culture of hitting price points. The difference from a standard range Dormer to a cheap random brand of Chinese cack, despite both supposedly being HSS is night and day.

Same with all the tools. A lot of the modern stuff doesn't give the impression it is built to be used more than once or twice. Best one I've seen is a spanner that bent like toffee. It is worrying that we might end up buying something that is expected to be of a standard quality as you would expect, and then turns out to be rubbish. If it is doing something critical, such as a pin, cotter, jubilee, circlip or whatever and it fails due to be made of shite... well you may as well have bought the expensive ones after all.
