best wood bits??

[vxwestie]

Sorry. I'm regretting ever buying the wood beaver bits.... Bloody useless,
the shafts bend, the go blunt quickly and are a load of carp... Won't be buying anymore

 

[Badged01]

Ive had a problem with a bent shaft, probably due to my own brute ignorance using it, but other than that have found them great to use. Had them a good few years and they just keep going and going ...... dont seem to have any issue with then blunting!

had them for ages and still going strong ...

I am a very tight man !

been spending the last 4 weeks cutting out 250x80mm sections of 45-60mm thick plaster in the ceiling every 600mm to expose the troffs for Cable routes which just destroys anything I used to make pilot holes for a recip saw lol even the recip blades end up with no teeth left after like 5 cuts, Augers & Spades barely last a day but I used one of the DeWalt Spades & it lasted a few days before it went from 20mm to like 10mm

The £12 set I got were the black dewalt set.

They have lasted me quite a while to be fair, ill need to stock up at some point as 16,20 and 25 have disappeared

Work with some right thieving scrouts.

 

[john25]

yea mine are The tough Bits, black with thick frames so they don't snap as easy as Cheap ones

 

[Badged01]

......Work with some right thieving scrouts.

Is that scrouts or scousers? Though I guess its one of the same thing

Nah worse than Scousers

 

[Badged01]

Nah worse than Scousers

Now I know you must be telling porkys .....

 

[shanky887614]

Now I know you must be telling porkys .....

There worse than scousers cause I have to bloody work with them so often.

I tend to work with brumies so dont come into contact with scousers very often

nope for me my Augers didn't last very long before the drill bit on them buckled after a couple of hours when putting pilot holes through 45-55mm thick plaster.
