UK Drills

A specialist range of drill bits

UK Drills is a Wigan-based supplier focused on drill bits and related cutting tools. It says it has traded since 1985 and holds a large warehouse stock for dispatch across the UK. The shop separates HSS, cobalt, masonry, SDS Plus and SDS Max bits, along with wood augers, countersinks and core drills. The material to be drilled, machine chuck and required hole diameter all affect the correct choice; a bit intended for masonry is not a substitute for one designed for metal.

Sets, saws and workshop accessories

Alongside individual bits, the catalogue includes drill sets, hole saws, core drills, taps and dies, screwdriver bits, cutting and grinding discs and jigsaw blades. This makes the store useful for both a one-off replacement and restocking a workshop. A buyer should read the product description for shank type, cutting diameter, length and compatible drill or driver. For a core drill or heavy cutting disc, the machine rating and safe operating method also matter.

Finding the right tool

The website has a drill-bit finder that starts from the intended job and helps narrow the range. Live chat and contact details provide another way to ask about a specialist application. Trade customers can view discount tiers, while the shop lists product information and guides for general buyers. If the existing bit has broken or worn quickly, describing the material, drill speed and machine can help identify whether a different bit type or technique is needed.
