Yeah - I was thinking more about the claimed ability to drill various
substrates. The Bosch drills do work, (limited depending on substrate,
very well on others).


In desperation I tried these Bosch ones from screwfix to drill out a broken
drill bit is a feed auger, it made no progress and then the tip
disintegrated.


Yes, I use them everyday. They are useful for being abe to drill through
wood and masonry at the same time. They are pretty dire at wood and
metal alone, taking twice as long as a normal drill, as they have a
masonry style tip, so do not cut through the material, but rather just
wear it away.

On masonry, they are good.
