    How does this compare to this set that has more bits and is 51% off?

    Deal of the day: Bosch 91-Piece V-Line Titanium Drill Bit and Screwdriver Bit Set with Ratcheting Screwdriver (For Wood, Masonry, and Metal) https://amzn.asia/d/2iOW4Jy

      bosch pro (blue bosch) is generally much better quality than regular bosch (green). I have a blue bosch angel grinder that is even made in germany.

    • +1

      These here are all hex, so it's for an impact driver mostly (but not only).

      The green set from the other deal has hex bits like this one and regular drills but no hex drills.

      Can't comment on quality, but:
      * The 91 piece obviously has a lot more variety, and looks like you can put the screw bits on the handle included to use as screwdriver.
      * This 35 piece kit looks like it's designed more for people using impact drivers, do could depend on what power tools you have.

      I have both sets. The bits in this set are better, V-Line set is very handy to have but this set is my go to for most heavy material drilling and for use in my impact driver.

      • +1

        Thanks mate.

    • This set reads like it's meant to be those universal "does-it-all" bits on TV

    • Usability looks way better on this kit. It's a pain to take the bits out on the green kit.

  • +1

    Are the bits good for concrete/brick walls?

    • -4

      Not really, they're for an impact driver at best, for minor drilling/softer materials

    • -2

      No, need masonry bits

      • Thanks, I get some masonry bits.

        • +1

          I was wrong, those blue bits are masonry bits and are good for concrete/brick walls. I was rightly downvoted.

    • +2

      I used these drill bits to mount a camera in brick, no dramas.

      Edit: I think people are not realizing that these are multi-purpose bits, Bosch themselves state they're fine for masonry use.

    • +2

      These are perfectly fine for concrete. They're masonry bits which are designed to work with other materials too.

      • Fair enough. Would you use it on concrete/brick with any impact driver or any rotary? Or only the sturdier ones like Bosch blue/pro?

        • You should technically use masonry bits in a hammer drill, not an impact driver. For light work, you will get away with using an impact driver.

          • @Mr BoMBAStiG: So would you use these hex drills bits in a hammer drill and drill in concrete/brick walls? Feels like it could damage the bit or the machine, due to the hex shape. Serious consideration here, as I've only drilled with regular (straight/smooth) shaft/mount and with SDS.

            • @pizzaguy: I'm not the person to ask but I would have thought that the grips on the hammer drill would be able to securely grab the hex. Maybe they need to be smooth in a hammer drill so that it can slip if it really needs to?

              • @Mr BoMBAStiG: Yeah, that's what I thought the common sense was. These bits might be indestructible and fine in sturdy, professional tools, but I wonder what happens if I put them in a chepish hammer drill and when it starts rattling.

                Well, I wouldn't do it. I'd use regular (straight) shaft bits in a regular hammer drill, but happy to be corrected.

  • The drill bits here aren't as good as specialised bits in a drill - the driver bits are fine though.

    Price has gone up to $49.17

    • +3

      The 31-piece set for $34.42 still looks like good value.

      • That’s a screwdriver only bit set with more bits for screw driving compared to the other. I wasn’t interested in the drill bits anyway as I have some Kango branded ones which look superior to Bosch equivalents.

        Can anyone share their thoughts on Kango vs Bosch bits?

  • +1

    For context and not saying its not a good deal. I purchased a couple of magnetic drivers for $7-8, exactly the pieces I wanted to install a 6x6m shed.

    The drivers went great and are still in great condition after hundreds of screws driven, tek and philips. If you just need a piece or two that might be a cheaper path to take?

    Good thing about Bosch impact sets are the cases.

    You can snap on/off the bit sets that you want to collect.

    • You should start the world’s first drill bit collectors club. Wow. That will be popular with tradies I bet.

      • You would be surprised at how much people complain about the cases of the other manufacturers.

        The ability to take bits out and put them back in, can be a sore point.

        • Yes, I experienced that too with the cheapest drill bits from Bunnings. I bought the Kango masonry bits with case, and the quality was brilliant. Hopefully the Bosch are quality considering mixed reports on Amazon.

          • @JeBs: Bosch Blue Professional would be better than Bosch Professional.

            Makita Gold impact bits are supposed to be excellent,
            but it has a premium price to it and maybe hard to find.
