Masonry drill bits - pack of 3
Posted: November 30th, 2016, 4:55 pm
I haven't bought any masonry drill bits for a while, but thought I would pop in to our local (excellent) hardware store to buy a pack of three, one for yellow plugs, one for red and one for brown. I have always bought them like this in the past, in a handy little plastic wallet. Given I pretty much only ever drill into masonry to put in one or other of these plug sizes, they were dead handy and all I needed for normal use.
But they weren't available.
Packs of six, eight, even twenty different sizes, but not just the three in the right size for the three standard plug sizes.
Hmm I thought, I will pop online later and get them from eBay. Nope, none on the site. Or Screwfix? Nope. Or Toolstation? Nope. Or Amazon? Nope.
Is it just me? Am I the only one who wants just those three sizes? (and actually would prefer NOT to have other sizes on hand, to avoid using the wrong drill bit)?
I guess it is not a big deal, I'll buy a larger set and throw the ones I don't want into the bottom of a toolbox. Or buy some individually and make up my own set.
I am just amazed that they seem to have disappeared in that handy format.
