Drill bits I always go high end. It makes all the difference for anything difficult. I'd rather have a £50 drill with a £10 masonry bit than a £200 drill with a generic / crap bit.DeWalt is largely tradesman quality tools and their prices reflect this. A budding DIY-er would not be prudent to by tools costing upto(say) 10X the price of generic brand/home brand gear from middle aisles and places such Home bargains and the like.
But like I mentioned earlier, some of the stuff in Aldi and Lidl are good value and sturdy enough with a 3 year guarantee.
They do sets of drill bits -wood/metal and masonry. Not DeWalt quality but for household and amateur DIY I can't fault them. When I was self employed I used to buy top quality gear, drill bits to drill through galvanized steelwork and core drilling stuff and proper power/hand tools etc etc.
Specialist gear isn't cheap, but Aldi/Lidl is and decent quality nowadays.
You are 100% correct about Weetabix , I worked there for 17 years and the only difference is the paper they are wrapped in . It’s exactly the same biscuit weather it’s branded or own label.I supply products into the print market and my big customers produce packaging for supermarkets etc. I can tell you for instance that all own label 'Weetabix' are exactly the same as the branded product as they had their own in house printing operation producing the cartons until the Chinese bought the company and sold the print side off.
Apart from Kelloggs, most food manufacturers supply own label versions of their products and it is more efficient to keep them the same rather than making cheaper versions.

It’s a small world. The printing side I used to supply until it was closed down was Vibixa at Cheltenham.You are 100% correct about Weetabix , I worked there for 17 years and the only difference is the paper they are wrapped in . It’s exactly the same biscuit weather it’s branded or own label.
In the days when I had some money (which I don't now), I used to go for Makita, similar standard to Ryobi ?Quality gear but a bit over the top for diy imo, unless you're happy to spend the money of course.
I like ryobi + as a decent diy choice
Portugeuse pasta del nata?Have you had those little Belgian Custard tarts ?
Yes remember it well , much better quality when it was supplied from there.It’s a small world. The printing side I used to supply until it was closed down was Vibixa at Cheltenham.
Got a multi tool 3 years ago. Use it every day at work for engraving and still going strong. All others i've had were fucked after 12 months.To prove I'm not a brand snob @BlueMoonRisin' I am going to go off this recommendation and buy a few DIY tools at some point from Aldi :).
