Yep, I buy the 5 packs - seem to go through tonnes of them - never broken one, they just evaporate into thin air around my place... [biggrin]Quote:

I dont know if the more expensive brand actually stays sharp longer?
What does make them last a lot longer,when drilling steel,or stainless steel is cutting compound.
I bought a 400mm 1/2" the other day,one brand was half the price of the other.
I grabbed the cheaper one as no doubt it will vanish before it gets worn out....
We generally get them at either either Trade Tools,Tool city,or Bunnings.
Majority of the drill bits I buy from bunnings don't last long enough for me to lose them, I also have that losing tools disease beware its contagious. Ill vote for the p&n tech bit I've broken plenty of the Irwin tech bits. The p&n last me longer.Quote:

I've been buying the Irwin driver bits for a while now - usually because they are right next to the checkout at the tools section of the local green shed.
But I've recently found these in the better quality tool store in town. Don't know if they are any better or not - time will tell. In general, Milwaukee tools are a step above most of what you can find at the green shed I've found.
