    I expect, among others that the drill bit, e.g. for concrete, does not get stuck after 1-2 drillings ...
    Link
    And is this Milwaukee set worth something or for PLN 70 you can only buy 2-3 drills?
    Thanks and cheers

    I assume that I buy accessories that I need at the moment. I think I buy 6 and 8 mm drills for cardboard boxes ... Occasionally I use other sizes, but it is worth having them of good quality, because when they are needed, let them work well ;)
    I recommend Makita, Milwaukee, Bosch, Festa, DeWalt ... For concrete, I recommend a 4-blade tip - it drills faster, easier in hard materials, it does not tire the equipment and the operator and they have a longer service life. I buy medium short sixes for PLN 10-12, I work well with them.

    What do you think is better to choose?
    Link Makita price 35 PLN / 8 pcs
    or Link Milwaukee 70 PLN / 8pcs
    Is there a difference in strength etc between them? Worth the donation? Home use, but I don't want Chinese food; I don't know where they produce Makita but Milwaukee in Germany.
    thanks

    Something this Makita does not suit - on the 1st link these drills are black and on the second cord they are clear - the model of the set is the same P60006 for concrete. It is similar on the Allegro - some sellers have bright and others have black drills ... What do you think?

    Okay, Handyman tell me how many times will you use a drill size 3, 4, 5, 7? I bet you will never ... Just buy two or three good drill bits of the size you need and don't look for holes in the colors ....

    Most of the well-known brands commission certain companies to produce them under their logo.

    Overall, I can recommend Sarius, price, quality, and all the drills with Poles are good marketing.

    Price per item PLN 3.5-4 :D
    For drilling in brick or suporex, ok, but not concrete.

    Gentlemen. Sorry, because my post is not strictly in the topic, but I have a question about the use of the drill, the photo of which is showing. I found a set of such drill bits in the basement, which I had bought a long time ago in a bazaar from the Russians, and I don't know what they are for. Regards. R.

    To me they look like drill bits for glass or tiles

    They were for glaze (the soft one, of course). In current ceramics, you won't do much with them.

FAQ

TL;DR: For most home jobs, buy a few quality masonry bits; "I buy medium short sixes for PLN 10–12" and 4‑cutter tips last longer. A PLN 60 multi‑pack is fine for light tasks; choose individual 6 and 8 mm for concrete. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442] Why it matters: DIYers choosing between PLN 60–70 sets and a few good bits can save money and avoid frustration.

Quick Facts

Is the Makita D-46202 18-piece set worth buying for home use at ~PLN 60?

For light, occasional jobs, it can be enough. If you drill concrete often, expect limited performance. At ~PLN 60 you might buy only two decent concrete bits instead. Hitting rebar will kill any bit fast. Choose based on how hard your walls are and usage frequency. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17747089]

Makita P60006 (8 pcs ~PLN 35) or Milwaukee (8 pcs ~PLN 70) — which should I pick?

For home use, don’t overpay. The budget Makita option is adequate if you’re not drilling hard concrete daily. Spend more only if you need higher durability or heavy use. "As for home use, there is no need to overpay." [Elektroda, Wilktor, post #17750394]

Are the black vs bright Makita P60006 bits actually different?

Don’t read into color. Focus on buying two or three good bits in the sizes you need. "Don’t look for holes in the colors." Color variations matter less than geometry and quality for your task. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17750779]

Should I buy a full drill-bit set or just the sizes I’ll use?

Buy only the sizes you’ll actually use. For most home tasks that means two or three bits, not a full assortment. This maximizes quality for your budget and reduces clutter. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17750779]

What masonry bit sizes will I use most at home?

Expect to use 6 mm and 8 mm most for common fixings and anchors. Other sizes see occasional use only. Stock a couple of quality 6 and 8 mm bits first. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442]

Are 4‑cutter masonry bits worth it?

Yes. A 4‑cutter tip drills faster, tracks straighter, and reduces stress on you and the tool. They also last longer in hard materials. The upgrade is noticeable in concrete. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442]

Do I need SDS bits for drilling in concrete?

Using non‑SDS in masonry is frustrating. SDS improves hammer energy transfer and hole progress. If you plan masonry work, choose an SDS drill and SDS bits. "Without SDS is a torment." [Elektroda, karolark, post #17750407]

How much should I pay for a decent masonry bit?

A solid 6 mm masonry bit typically costs PLN 10–12. Mid‑length bits work well for general use. Pay for quality on your most used sizes first. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442]

Are cheap 8‑piece sets a false economy?

They can be. At PLN 3.5–4 per bit, they’re fine for brick or aerated concrete. They often struggle in real concrete, dulling fast. Use them where materials are softer. [Elektroda, karolark, post #17761370]

Bosch HSS‑T vs Irwin HSS‑TiN for metal — any real difference?

One user found the Irwin TiN set performed much better than a comparable Bosch HSS‑T set. If drilling metal often, consider Irwin HSS‑TiN based on that report. Treat it as user experience, not lab data. [Elektroda, Wilktor, post #17747088]

How do I stop concrete bits from getting stuck or dull after 1–2 holes?

Use quality bits with a 4‑cutter tip. They drill faster and reduce load, extending life. Avoid very long bits unless needed, and buy the sizes you’ll use most. Expect to pay ~PLN 10–12 for a good 6 mm. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442]

What happens if my bit hits rebar in a wall?

Expect trouble. Even good concrete bits can dull or chip quickly on reinforcement. You may need to shift the hole location. Plan anchors to avoid known reinforcement zones. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #17747089]

What are those spear‑point bits for? Will they handle modern tiles?

They were for soft glaze. On today’s hard ceramics, they do very little and wear fast. For modern porcelain tiles, choose different solutions. These spear bits are not effective now. [Elektroda, wiesiekmisiek, post #18686781]

Quick 3‑step: how do I choose masonry bits for a small home project?

  1. List the two sizes you’ll use most (often 6 mm and 8 mm).
  2. Choose quality masonry bits with a 4‑cutter tip for longer life.
  3. Buy mid‑length versions; expect ~PLN 10–12 for a good 6 mm. [Elektroda, Shadowix, post #17747442]

Are lesser‑known brands like Sarius worth a look?

Yes. Many big brands outsource production, so focus on performance and price. Sarius gets positive notes for price‑to‑quality. Evaluate on drilling results, not just logos. [Elektroda, fotzsyzrk, post #17760170]
