These drill bits are a fraud – Bought a set of these drill bits and were absolutely useless only barely sufficient in wood so long as its not ro thick never again would I buy these or recommend them total waste of money Show details
Renovator does it all drill bit – I brought these less then 13 months ago. Used 4 times, one size trying to drill standard steel and it felt like it was totally blunt.also tried different bits in concrete and brick, as per directions in the kit and same result would be quicker with a nail and my hand as a hammer.

Was super skeptical but seriously Amazing drill bits – Have to admit I brought these after thinking about them for a year and eventually the TV ad got me. It was the first thing I've ever brought from the TV. I thought this is too good to be true and went into it expecting a scam or possible scamolla but man was I wrong! Not one word of a lie I drilled through 20mm thick flat bar with an 8mm bit. I… Read more · 1
also did allow, timber and masonry. My mates whos a tradie got the second set that came for free and it's crazy how well they work. Of course if you treat them like crap they'll break don't be silly and drill straight and they'll 100% work. I'm so impressed and again was not expecting anything more than a bit of fun. The case quality is pretty awful but who buys drill bits for the case. I'll use an old one I have. Also the idea of a carry bag for them is a bit strange but whatever.
All in all highly recommend just don't be a idiot with them and you'll be fine.
Hit and miss – Average results drilling through wood. Better when drilling through metal, albeit with the assistance of soluable oil, however, it binded when breaking through the other side and the 18mm bit snapped where it is held by the drill. Reduced the pressure and speed substantially and it still bent the 17mm bit. Show details
Broken – The first time I used 3mm drill bit in small box on steel it broke. The whole set was a lot smaller than it looked on internet. The price was ok
Positive reviews
Got the drills – After watching and wondering if they were another scam.. happy to say THEY SEEM TO BE EXCELENT.. .. while I have not lined up railway tracks and titanium.. for metal or hardwood. they have now repeated the performance we need.. and still sharp. Simple honest reveiw. Show details · 1
does the job well – As a tradesman I wear out a set inside a year, but I use them all the time. Small ones mostly. It is very convenient having just the right size on hand and drilling nearly everything I need to from concrete to steel. I got 2 for the price of one which was good value. I'm looking for another deal like that. Buy comparable ones individually and you will probably pay more for the entire range. Show details
This is perfect. Does all the work – This is a must buy for every house hold. It does all the work and you won’t require any other tool. The quality is good too. And it is handy
Negative reviews
Absolutely Lies – Check out Ebay everyone. The same bloody drill set with all the extras for $208.95. That is today. Free shipping. 30 day return. All the same as Global Shop Direct. They are thieves. They're actually charging you $419.00 and they give you a send set free. Absolutel garbage. You are being charged for two sets no matter what. And the woman on the… Read more
phone said "well, we are not forcing you to buy it". No answer for the false advertising. Appalling Shop. Stay clear.

Not as described – I was given a set for my birthday. What a scam how do you get away with it. I will post YouTube videos showing how bad the drill bits are. Don't want you money or time. The cheapest drill bits at any hardware will do a much better job. You should be ashamed the reviews speak for them selves Show details

Absolute crap – They do not do as advertized and shown on TV. They are simply a rip off and burn out straight away. They should be prosecuted for fraud. Whatever you do, save your money and buy the cheapest drill at your local hardware because they are 100% better than this crap. THEY DESERVE A ZERO RATING & A PRISON CELL.

Does it all drill bits – I purchased these drill bits thinking they would be good well when I got them the 3 mm bit was already bent. However when the man in the ad bends the drill bit it didn’t stay bent. And just one more thing may be you should remove the ad because anyone can see that the pressure he has forced onto the so called cheap drill bits on the bench grinder… Read more
is quite marginal to the very little pressure he applied to the does it all drill bit. And just one more thing the first time I had to use mine I had to drill through stainless steel with the 6mm well I had to go to Bunnings and buy a high speed metal bit that cost me $12 to do the job because these so called does it all drill bits would not hardly mark it sorry to say they are no different to what I can buy from the DIY tool stores waste of money and time.

Absolutely rubbish. Blunt after the first use – Used once to drill into checkerboard steel. Unable to drill the second hole as the bit was already blunt. Would rate them zero/5 if I could. Dont waste your money

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH - JUNK – Does-it-all Drill Bits. DO NOT BUY – JUNK Have given this product a review listing of 1. If I could it would have been 0. The drills themself BREAK without any effort being applied (yes, I watched the Video) and as for customer service this is the worst I have ever encountered. I e-mailed customer service help line of broken drill bit and… Read more
asked what extra I needed to do for replacement part. Their reply – as I purchased from a supplier, I had to contact them directly and deal with them in relation to exchange, replacement or refund. Nothing about their own Guarantee on the product. Should have read other reviews before I purchased, appears this company and product is known for its false advertising.

Absolute rubbish – Had a set of these drill bits given to me for Father's day and wow was I happy, until I used them, they are total rubbish, won't even drill through 5mm steel. You should be ashamed to market rubbish like this, pitty I can't give it a zero star rating because that's all they deserve. Please don't reply to this with, ''sorry to hear you are not happy with our product" because clearly you are not sorry otherwise you wouldn't sell crap like this. Show details

Absolute RUBBISH – The drills would not drill through wood or concrete. Have not tried to drill steel or glass and doubt they will do the job as advertised. The add is a scam! The drills were a waste of my money. Do not buy anything from TV Shop Show details
Hi Al E, We are so sorry to hear about your experience… Read more
Does it all drills not as they say – The drills are depicted as being able to drill through all mediums at great speed and ease. This is not true. They are very slow through timber and in general the advertisement is not a true depiction of he drills performance. I would not recommend these drills. A small one broke the first time i used it. I am a tradesman with many years in the metal industry and know how to operate machinery. These drills are not what they say

The drlll bits that are guaranteed to loose you time and money – Not one drill bit did what was advertised. I returned the first set and the second set was just as bad. The bits used on the add is not what you are buying. Total lies and the Tv Shop should be shut down for false advertising. My finger could do a better job! Show details
I totally agree
Rubbish – I have sent two of these back so far at £5 postage a time so they are not worth it.Stopping sending them back because it cost to much.They are poor quality

Garbage – Included in a package for the Renovator Transforma ladder in September 2019 order number 10691036, I had no use for them at the time, but recently had need to drill out some stainless steel screws, which didn't happen, so then i decided to drill the pine timber that the screws went through so i could get at them with a vice grip, wouldn't drill… Read more
that either. they are made as masonry drills, the reversible drill bits are useless too, i am considering a class action against brand developers if enough others are interested

Can't believe they're still allowed to sell this rubbish! Does it all? LMFAO! They need reporting! – Couldn't even drill 90 x 90 Merbau post without getting hot! I tried to drill brake rotor as per the advert and guess what didn't even make a mark on it. Rubbish Show details

Does crap! all drill bits – The only purpose of these drill bits is to raise your blood pressure and cause countless hours of anguish and torment. The genius' who market this third world trash must have a good old laugh at the uneducated proletariat who are gullible enough to purchase them. The evil masterminds at should be congratulated for being able to successfully market a product so bad and then not lose a seconds sleep in the process. Show details

Have to be the worst drill Bits ever sold by the biggest scammers ever born selling to me the biggest sucker ever – These are a joke and the Tv Shop is a joke The drill bits are absolutely useless they won't touch masonry and even soft wood they struggle they aren't just cheap they actually don't come close to performing the job they are designed for and tv shop before you send me a generic email telling me I didn't use correct pressure or coolant don't bother… Read more
I am machinist by trade and will forget tomorrow more than any of your sweat shop call centre clowns will ever know coolant isn't the issue the issue is your product is a scam and absolute junk I mean how technical you are in your instructions if pressure used is such an issue why don't you list rpm of drill used instead of light or medium that's real technical stuff. And then when I ring and complain some clown in India or wherever he was starts to tell me I don't know how to use them properly I guess after working in a call centre your knowledge of engineering techniques would be way above the average tradesman guess his work conditions were just to good to be true so he gave up working on the tools to answer phone calls from iterate customers like me Rest assured I blame Boone but myself for allowing myself to be scammed and conned once again by your false claims and advertising PS Update I have Rung 3 times now to enquire about returning these boat anchors and each time a recorded msg tells me they are experiencing longer than normal delays but then a human answers takes all my details and promises a sales expert will contact me asap just more lies and crap Have forwarded a complaint to consumer watchdog detailing their lies and deception

These drill bits are rubbish – Thanks for wasting my money TVSHOP. I was trying to drill through a 2mm piece of particle board. It started to burn the wood, and the smoke detector went off in my apartment. The whole apartment complex was evacuated, and I was slugged $940.00 callout fee by the fire brigade! Show details

Does nothing drill bits – These drill bits are just cheap masonry bits. The only thing they drill is masonry and they are not great at that either. They will not drill sheet metal, especially stainless steel as they don't have a cutting edge, see pics! They are so blunt, they barely drill through mild steel and even struggle with wood and they certainly will not drill… Read more
through glass. You have to apply such enormous pressure even drilling mild steel that your job is so buckled its useless. I destroyed three of these pieces of garbage drilling four holes through 1.2mm thick 316 stainless. The edges of the carbide alloy burn away or just shatter! For the price of these you can buy a 29 piece cobalt drill set that will last you a lifetime, These pieces of crap are just bin fodder. Does nothing drill bits is a far more accurate description. If you buy these, you will regret it.

JUNK ! – If people stop buying all this cheap and ridiculous crap they mite go out of business. What do people expect ! If you want good quality things that mite last a while DON’T buy crap that they see on TV commercials.

I would of thought Productreview.com.au mite have probably realised that they are fake.
