Blacksmiths drillbits

[Kent]

Just had a look and they are a lot cheaper than the Sherwoods, I realise they're unlikely to be as good but for the money I'm willing to give them a try as long as they're not cheese grade since I don't drill a huge amount of bigger holes

They are just great in my experience it's a big place with lots and lots of drills of all description
Better prices can be economy of scale as much as quality

They're unlikely to be for anything to precise, usually just holes for bolts to go through and that kind of thing! Well I've gone with the ones Kent recommended, got 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20mm for about the price of one of the Sherwood drills and should hopefully be fine since they're unlikely to be in constant use! Cheers for the help everyone

The. Clue is in the name blacksmith drills
Not precision engineers drills for those who just like to use hand drills and half inch chuck when they should be on a morse taper
