Anyone bought from Bohrer-online ?

As above.

I found the site and thought it was ok. Pottered about in it putting a few bits in the basket. Total came to about €42.

Then it turns out that post was about €20. Not too happy about paying nearly 50% post, I mailed them and they basically said ' that's the price '
Now, the reason I ask the question is, I'd like to know the qual of the drill bits.
They seem to be well priced (maybe too well priced)

I did like the fact that you could get long series bits too. I would have no problem buying €150 worth from them (post still €20) but I don't want to end up with cheese drill bits from China.

Know of any other similar sites with a good range like above ?

If you want a wide range of drills, try Drill Service in Horley.
I have never had crap drills from them, though I do most of my
shopping from the lucky dip boxes they have on the counter;-)

Thanks for that graffian.

That's a big drillfest there eh ?

I was hoping to find a bit of a 'one stop shop' for various stuff, similar to the DE one, so I don't get 3 or 4 diff post charges.

This is one case for looking on ebay. I bought drills from a seller called ukdrills and have had no problems with quality and most of the stuff is free postage. I am not in any way connected to the seller just had good service. The drills I bought were long series 3mm HSS and 1.5mm normal and they have lasted well. If you are looking for a shop to buy them from you could try Cromwell.

I use cromwell, but they have a place next to buck and hickman so I can call and collect.
Online you could look at J&L, their "Value" range[probably chinese] drills seem
OK.

Cheers for the leads lads.

I looked at the DE crowd mentioned in the title on ebay.

Some terrible feedback for them (quality/comms etc) so I will be avoiding them like the plague and go with one of above.
