May not be an instant result for you, but I've been bulk buying the boxes of HSS drill bits that Lidl's sell about twice a year. Typically they cost around £5-99 and comply with the German DIN standards etc. Beat the similar sets on offer from Screwfix etc. every time in terms of value for money. Just a great shame they are not a regular item amongst the cans of beans etc! Worth looking out for. Oh, you get funny looks from the girl on the cash desk when you've got five sets in the trolley.

To do what? Metal drilling would be different to concrete or wood. SDS, Masonry with plain shanks, lip and spur?

oh sorry i need them for wood. lol (hammer)

Most of them are OK.
Erbauer are OK.
I needed the smaller sizes (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5mm) used in a pillar drill and they are fine.

+1 for the Lidl 'powerfix' drill bits (lip and spur), I bought a set of the large spiral auger bits also-they work fine

Famag lip and spur bits, especially if it's hardwood, they also do chrome vanadium versions for soft woods. Made in Germany rather than the far east. Best I've used.
