Review: Very high quality Forstner bits - The best Forstner bits I’ve found for under £200. If you are a professional tradesman, then the extra few hundred pounds is worth the investment but for a DIY enthusiast or casual home user, these are more than you will ever need. Sharp, clean cuts and go through reclaimed Georgian pine like a knife through butter. If you want the best result, use in a pillar drill but for small work, a decent hand drill is possible.
Review: Brilliant - Bought as a gift but was received with great reviews. Very happy customer
