I use my Bosch Professional Cordless Drill a lot, it's the 18v one and I love it. I used it today on some Pozi drive screws in a fence post that must have been put in by Guy the Gorilla a few years back and were about 4 inches long and it totally mashed some bits trying to get them out, I got them out eventually.

Can anyone recommend any decent hardened bits and a supplier. I am not really interested in a set but individual bits that I use the most like Pozi and Phillips. Or a set maybe is the way to go if recommend.

My mate a builder gave me some PZ2 Bosch ones that he recommended that are gold in colour. They are pretty pricey for what they are, just wondered what other people thoughts are? Are they any good or can you recommend anything else? I willing to pay that little bit extra if they are worth it.

There are loads of cheap ones out there but most of them are pretty much useless on a screw that is not happy to come out.

the impact driver ones are more expensive but stronger.

dewalt impact are ok.

if they were 4" thats odd normally there pz3.

i tend to use wera on tek screws etc, makita gold bits are supposed to be good but expensive at around £1 each

wera diamond, get in toolstation
or a dewalt box of 20 for a fiver in screwfix, they not bad and no much loss if you mess up some bits.

Cheers all for your recommendations. I was speaking to a spark in a suppliers today and he also said Wera, so may give them a go.
 
I'm in and out of there all the time. Have just moved from East Croydon to selsdon so a bit further to drive but still the closest!

Nice one LF I moved out from Beckenham to Westerham 18 years ago. I love it out here most of my work is local and pretty rural, so a lot of TT properties. So Westerham, Brasted, Sundridge, Sevenoaks, Biggin Hill, Edenbridge etc... So I don't tend to tread on your new turf too often:smiley2:. Would be nice to get some of that rich money in Woldingham though!

Still a Palace supporter though! Good times getting even better!:icon4:

it was in low gear, I couldn't be a***d to go to van and get a corded drill which I normally would use, last hole, it'll be all right.Four years old, local repair shop said Bosch eventually said couldn't get replacement motor. I don't force tools anymore.

you would be better off using an impact driver. drills are not very good and putting screws in they tend to overheat
 
What I should have said to OP is that his drill bits failed before the drill. If he goes for stronger his cordless could suffer instead.4" screws on fencing have a lot of friction to overcome.
 
I agree shanky , OP said he used a cordless drill to get screw out so I assumed it was a combi. I used my cordless drill to make hole for screw.To my mind the same load is encountered powering a 6mm HSS drill bit as taking out a 12 g x4" and could also end the drill motor. My Bosch came as a pair with GDR impact which I still use most days of the week.
