I dounbt I'd buy that drill bit, I'm usually buying bits of less than 4mm D and less than a couple of quid each.

You won't get a carbide tipped engineering drill of that size listed much
cheaper than RS.

For instance

Carbide tipped masonry bits will be much cheaper.

RS appear to conflate individual dispatches on one overall and sometime company
wide call off order into their suggestions. The order number is the same, the
delivery address one of a few dozen across the country. Some locations /
departments/adjacent desks might be buying hydraulic fittings, electronic
components, DIN rail screw terminals, fasteners, and some might be buying drill
bits.

The customer benefits from the lowest price level RS offers but all other
customers appear to end up being presented with ****e information about linked
products.

At least the RS website is not quite as **** as it once was.
