Discuss best wood bits?? in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

Ive got to say it a 20mm wood bit is the answer lol. No seriously I agree with MDJ the cheapest as you will surely hit something,
 
Armeg do a wood beaver thats nail proof, its blue, and works well although I have yet to test its kryptonite abilities.

I also have a bosch flat bit that is slightly (deliberately) twisted, and is also painted blue and its brilliant.

neither were cheap. Aside from that I am with Mike (or is it Mark) - I just buy a 229 piece set from Wickes, etc for 20 snots and chuck them away when knacked up
 
yep armeg are good, self pulling bit to quick, I'm on my second one now i use slightly older one near block wall or if i know a nail might be near. bosch blue tip spade ones are my second choose but don't last as long
 
best ones are those borrowed from a plumber. don't matter then what happens to them.
 
Auger bits are fastest if you have a nice torquey drill. Toolstation do them cheap enough so you won't cry if they get munched up.
Or cheap spade bits kept going with a file or grinder.
 
the more expensive the bit , the sooner they sniff out a nail.

considering this cruel yet true anomally i find it best to just stick with the £1.50 spade bits from screwfix
;-)
