getting my bro a nice set of tool accessories for christmas but im stuck on which to buy!

DeWalt

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/25379/Drill-Bits/Combination-Sets/DeWalt-Modular-Accessory-Set-104-Pc#

Quite pricey at £75 but its a name he knows and trusts and know is gona be good. Comes in a nice tough box too.

Ryobi

http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=145906

Not such a well known make but supposidly pretty decent plus £35 cheaper which leaves me more money to buy him other things...


Anyone shed any light on how good this ryobi stuff is?

DeWalt IMO. Proper choice, if he knows how much it cost he should appreciate it

Ryobi stuff is good quality as well, 75 quid seems a bit expensive for what you get in the de walt kit although i'm sure a builder will be here soon to advise.

Dewalt is Black and Decker fact.
Any proper carpenter wouldnt use a set like that as it is, it doesnt include stuff you would need like a much bigger range of flat bits.
Usually you would keep them in a leather bit roll which means you can add more bits when you get them.

go for them off the bay if its the cheapest, Work supply us with the De Walt screw driver bits, they last the longest out of the ones weve used

all that seems to be missing from the dewalt set on the bay is the 4pc SDS plus set.

£30 cheaper

I can deffo fault ryobi! but for things like drill bits i cant see there being a problem much, probably just use cheaper/softer metal for them.
