Allen key bits for drill

Eircom_Sucks · 15-09-2014 12:04pm #1

I got a cordless worx drill , for doing od jobs in the house , flat pack stuff , shelves etc

But im looking for a good set of allen key bits for the drill

Made a set of bunk beds that took ages last week . 4" fully threaded allen key bolts , my hands where in bits tightening it up , where if i used the drill it would have been alot less painfull and quicker

Any ideas of a good set ?

here's a set - about €27 in B&Q Should have everything you'll need.

The Makita set from B&Q is quite good, i think i paid €20 for mine. Also the likes of woodies will have bit sets, although the quality does vary on these. Lidl/Alid ones are fine too, i recently replace a section of garage roof and drove in the tec screws with bits from lidl/aldi fine.

Aldi have driver head bit sets - they came out a few weeks ago but i bought one last saturday in long mile road branch.

Pretty sure there were a few allen key heads in it.

4.99 they were.

I just sawed the tops off the ones that come with flat packs - have around 4 or 5 sizes that fit pretty much everything.

As hordak says I did the same. Put th sawn end into he chuck. But a work of caution. The force of the drill might over tightn and crack th wood so I'd nearly put th lightest tongue setting or lowest speed and maybe hand tighten at th end.
