Hi Chris,

I have a set of axminister Lip drills they look the same i find mine very good think the price is about £18 £19 mark.
Should think that they come out of the same factory like most things these days .

For the same money you can get just as good bits elsewhere but double or more quantity. Injury thing you don't get is the holder.

I bought a Dakota clamping straight edge from Rutlands in their sale ages ago. Turned out to be not Dakota at all but the same branded product that Axminster sell for the same price Rutlands had it at in the sale.

For that reason I won't buy from Rutlands again. Your drills will likely be the same ones Axminster sell. The Dakota brandname is meaningless.
