The only 16 drill bits you'll need! ...and drill box tour

Today we're talking about drill bits! I'm often asked what drill bits to buy and how to store them. I've yet to find the perfect solution for drill bit storage but the system I use works pretty well. In this video I'm showing you the 16 drill bits I use the most - it started as 15 but I added the 7mm masonry just to satisfy those on insist on using non-Fischer fixings ;-).

The box for the drill bits is a good idea, I've got all mine in a selection of tins etc. One of the tins is an old one , it belonged to my dad who was a joiner. It's an old baccy tin with a snap tie around it, no fancy plastic boxes then! I often think he's be over the moon with all of the cordless gear nowadays. The only electric thing he had was a drill, but often used a brace and bit. Many happy Saturdays, spent curiously watching him sharpen every tool ready for a new job on Monday......happy days.

If you are a begginer Makita 'Straight Shank Accessory Set 101 Pieces' has lots of handy drills and screwdriver bits. Well organised and good for taking an old flat to bits becuase need a range of things you haven't planned for. It also has a tiny spirit level that i got rid of and put a magnet in its space so i could store a few new bigger drill bits.

@S7tronic 4 жыл бұрын

Great selection of bits, I would suggest adding a stepped cone cutter bit to the list, 4-20mm or 4-32mm; excellent for countersinking & reaming holes in mild steel, brass, plastic, etc. £25 will get you a decent one, you can get a cheapo set for £15 on amazon or the like, but the quality can be hit & miss.

Cassette drill storage 'the one you want is always missing'. Yes, but at least you can see that it is missing. So you can replace it before you go to the job. I keep a full spare set in a cassette that is only opened when no correct one can be found. It has to go back and I promise myself I will replace the missing one before next time.

@@GosforthHandyman I usually buy them in 10s. I have a drawer with compartments for all the normal sizes, and re-fill carriers from there.

Very courageous and honest of you to show your incomplete and partly blunt set without preparation. :) It looks like you never need to tap threads as otherwise, you would also be sporting diameters 4.2, 6.8,8.5, and 10.2. I keep my tapping size drills in a separate compartment, to avoid random use, and so ensure that they are straight and sharp when I need them. Wiggle the drill to size the hole? Sounds frightening. One of the differences perhaps between a builder and an engineer. :) Anyway, thank you, and keep drilling.

I too have a similar drill set up 1 box with all sorts of weird and wonderful aswell as multiple of the usual. The one thing I do slightly different is that I have a Empty snappy type tough material case with elastic drill bit storage and velcro to keep it closed. I keep my most used bit in there. They stay sharp and easy to hand. Just when you need it its there. The smaller size bits i have in a quick release drill adaptor. If it breaks I can just replace it. I even do that with my Multi construction bits as then I can stick them into an impact driver for a slightly stubborn wall where only one or two holes are required and the van with the SDS feels like miles away lol. Great work in difficult times keep up the good work Andy!

With masonry bits I always go 1mm under the size that I need because they always end up bigger than the hole I want, especially with the SDS. On the off chance that they actually end up the right size, I can always wiggle it about a bit! Then again, that's probably down to the cheap drills and bits that I use! Having said that, I'm absolutely in love with my 12V Parkside SDS drill, it's perfect for small holes in proper bricks, much faster than my combi drill, and I don't have to faff about with the proper SDS

@GosforthHandyman 4 жыл бұрын

I tend to go 0.5mm under-sized for SDS but I find for masonry bits I'm normally OK going at the suggested size. Depends on the wall though. 😀

So I guess we all use a very limited number of drills ;-}

I think a lot has to do for the work you're doing. I noticed that for general handyman jobs I use almost the same as in your video, more or less. For metal work and electronics i have a very different set. For precision woodworking it's a different story again. Not counting the bits needed to drill walls and such. In general I also like to keep en dedicated set for each job. Otherwise just having a good quality set and a set you can just mess around with is also very nice to have. Sometimes you just don;t want to mess up your nice drill set with these odd awkward jobs. Although it can be a little difficult to stick with it.

Forstner bits? One for euro hinges perhaps? I tried to create really thin compartments similar to your setup with a space for each size, stacking the drill bits on top of one another. Basically, divide your middle compartment into 5 or 6 thin compartments exactly a drill bit wide (using the plastic dividers still, but glueing in spacers between the compartments where there isn't the grooves for the plastic dividers to go into). I got bored halfway through making this drill bit utopia and just threw them in a drawer.
