I'm looking for a decent set of drills 1mm to 10mm ish in 0.5mm steps.
did a search and found various old threads, BUT i think the quality of bits has changed.
Dewalt seemed to be highly recommended , some time ago , but the set i have has been useless. Recently also purchased some dewalt laminate jigsaw blades and they lasted just a couple of cuts - replaced with bosch and lasted much much longer and a better cut
I purchased a https://www.screwfix.com/p/makita-straight-shank-accessory-set-101-pieces/96659 when I first had a cordless drill - 2 years ago, and they have either not drilled or broken - so not impressed
I then decided on dewalt - https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-h...driver-drill-holesaw-bit-set-100-pieces/1293p
Found a few of these NOT straight - with runout on the masonry bits
I have since purchased the Bosch blue multi drills for masonry and they have been excellent

but last weekend , I had to do a lot of woodwork drilling.
3,4,4.5,5 & 7mm drill bits used from the Dewalt kit
All first time use in hard wood 1" depth
the 4.5mm broke
the 5mm started ok and then just had smoke and would not cut after 1st hole
so really not impressed with the quality of these drills
looking around for a decent set, but not at mega money
saw a set in a local good DIY store
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Metabo-627..._1_1?keywords=627152000&qid=1580043674&sr=8-1
and a few bosch on FFX
just wondered what other people used and would recommend - as on amazon and Screwfix/toolstation quite a lot of bad reviews on any set
To be used with a Dewalt 2 speed cordless drill
For wood / metal
I now have a SDS Drill and SDS Drill bits - not tried those out also the Bosch blue coloured set
so masonry i'm covered
thanks
