Does the job

Have used them for boring holes in plaster board, boring holes in wood to start screws off and for scribing wood; very good value for the price.

a good variety of sizes, very useful addition t my toolbox.

Does the job

This product came nicely presented and appeared to be fine. However after only a couple of uses of the narrow point gimlet, the tip broke off whilst trying to get a screw starting hole in an ordinary hardwood window frame. This caused problems because the tip of the gimlet was now obstructing where I needed to fix the window handle.It also seems that the 'lifetime' guarantee on Silverline tools only applies if you have registered the item onto the Silverline website - within 30 days of the time of purchase.I've bought loads of Silverline tools over the years from Amazon and didn't realise each individual item needed to be individually registered within 30 days. Maybe I should have gone on their website and checked the small print, but I didn't expect that type of restriction with such a reputable company. I still have the Invoice but that's not enough.So be warned and remember to register every little silver line purchase or buy from a company whose tools don't break after a couple of uses.

These are very useful. My house is on 4 floors, I like to have the basics on each floor. This pack was ideal and the items from it has worked well. How long they'd last with heavy use I'm not sure. Price shoes I received good value for money.

The twist gimlets are not fit for purpose. The depth of thread is too shallow to screw into even softwood without huge pressure, and they do not remove wood from the hole. Yes, they are dirt-cheap, but still vastly overpriced. Avoid.
