city electrical factors do the fast 4 bits 16mm up to 32mm i think

yeh but the cost is a killer
im sure i gota set of old fathfull ones for 15 18 quid a while back...
i rate all these type bits and if youve got a reduction speed angle drill they are the bis

prefer flat bits myself, cheap and cheerful and they don't tend to get nicked

on a recent job the customer(who runs a hire company)gave us a makita angle drill and some 25/32 mm fast 4 type bits
it was the easyest drilling out ive ever done
no joke we saved hours in drilling time with this combo

try ebay yes i know but bought some of the irwin ultra fast they are brill well till you hit a nail , Auddex what CEF sell drill bits are useless 5.5 masonary 2 holes burn out 1 meter 20 mm drill bit £87.00 went in 12 " and burnt out

I've been using these Armeg ones, got them from the wholesalers and just seen there a damn site cheaper from screwfix and you get a case
Had a 20 and a 25 mm since last year been really good.

CK fast 4 bits are superb.

I saw some Dewalt bits in screwfix and they are about £30 a pop for a 32mm bit!

I agree with Gravid and think the Armeg Stubby Wood Beavers are great.
My dinky Bosch 10.8v drill/driver can get between joists with one and drive it through no problem.

Get yourself the Irwin Power Bit versions. Quite expensive but can rip through nails with no problems. I have been using the same 25mm with a makita angle drill for the last 6 months. I would have normally gone through about 4/5 normal ones in that time. Must have drilled thousands of holes.
