Drill bit and tap set suggestion

[Matt e]

im after a set of drill bits for metal, im fed up with the cheap sets that keep breaking and going blunt

and also has anyone got any suggestions for a metric tap set, looking tp upgrade my lidl set lol

Dormer
Phantom
go for coated cobalt and USE LUBRICANT WHEN DRILLING!

I seem to remember getting a Milwaukee drill bit set on a deal a few years ago.

1mm up to 10mm in half mm increments.

They cut through metal no bother and they were just plain HSS. They do Cobalt and Titanium ones too for a bit more money.

I find the newer brazillian dormer drills aren't as good as my ones made in Sheffield.

I've been using these for years, still on original set (bar a few replacement drills!).
