Lol, home shopping garbage with rigged tests.  Do people still fall for it?  I guess they do Andy  :grin:

Best drills I ever used for metal were Facom cobalt jobbies, but they're like 300 quid for a 25 pc set.

Have yet to find a decent masonry drill bit that doesn't wear out in a matter of minutes, but the JCB brand held up surprisingly well when hacking through a reinforced concrete window lintel.

Go for quad head on the masonry bit, a few pound more expensive but I've yet to break one!

Always remember to water them down to prevent overheating too!

We've all done it I think!  I bought a decking screwdriver attachment from the Ideal Home Show, which looked super impressive during the live demo, but it was utter shat when I got it home.  They clearly used specially made unique screws for the demo  :grin:
