Can anybody reccomend some good quality drill bits? Seems to be alot of rubbish out there. Mine are getting blunt now and have seen some use.

Thanks Steve

If the drill you have are good quality, why don't you just sharpen them?

They're not really. Most are missing and smaller sizes have shaped. My father's old ones seem to sharpen up well tho.

In that case Cobalt drills seem to be pretty tough. As to the make, all the old standard ones appear to have disappeared or been taken over.

They all seem rubbish the newer ones. Tho they do get abit abused at times.

I abuse drills horribly, I've found some bronze coloured things that survive well, can't recall make but I believe they're Titanium based, seem to rip through most metals I've thrown them at.
