I'll be going for the counter sink jobbies meself... or the forstners or both if im flush. I enjoy d'odd bit of woodwork.

Also... they have HSS step bits

Not sure if they'd go wide enough say for a kettle element - also i wouldnt say they'd do too many kegs  before blunting - might get a bit longer outta them if you look after them.

What size would you need for a keg/copper conversion? (I'm not saying the K word).

I got their hammer action/chisel drill recently and these would go well with it. Big fan of their stuff I must say for the price. I drilled a inch and a half hole through mass concrete and not a bother. It surprised me how easily she handled it. 3 year guarantee to boot n'all for 50
