My Dad wants some drill bits for Xmas, not really sure what to go for..

My personal favourite I've found so far is this:

http://www.screwfix.com/p/erbauer-combin...-set/52445

A cheaper alternative would be:

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/store...&langId=-1

Can anyone give any reccomendations or opinions on the Erbauer set?

Cheers!!

How much of a set does he want? I wouldn't buy anything less than Bosch Titanium ones.

BARGAIN! BOUGHT!

I'll pop in BnQ / HomeBase or something and check out the Bosch range.

That bosch set seems no good if you want a hole drilling bigger than 10mm but smaller than 16mm,nothing in between.
Other one can't be beat for a fiver can it?

These would probably be a decent set www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht383-19pce-cobalt-steel-drill-bit-se

Cobalt bits take alot of abuse off me in work on a daily basis :-)

Don't bother with Makita bits. I bought their 20 quid set for work a few months ago when i needed a few and they lasted all of about 30 seconds. I had a CK set before that and they were really good! Just a shame the guys in my office think a set of CK metal bits will do everything including masonry lol
