I tend to use 6mm hss bits quite a lot in an 18v drill, for drilling screw holes in timber framing, stud-work etc. The long HSS ones are quite expensive though, and not purpose-designed for wood, so I'm considering swapping to 6mm auger bits. I've got on well with bigger augers in general construction work, like drilling joists, However, the 6mm ones look very fragile by comparison.
Does anyone know if the small auger bits are up to the rigours of general construction, or should I stick with HSS?
