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.

Well if yuo say so, but most products I can get cheaper than RS do them, RS are good and quick free delivery so we do use them but I always check prices.


For instance

https://www.drill-service.co.uk/prod...-drill-jobber/

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.

and you think I don't know that working with 3000+ or so staff working here .


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.

And I don't find that very useful and I'm sure it's customers don't either.

Customers I'm sure would like such things that could be linked would help.
I'd expect such things as
customer bought an angle grinder they also bought some tile cutting blades.
rather than
customer bought an angle grinder they also bought a TuTu.






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

Still isn;t very good though, I find it quite annoying, we also order far less from them than we used to, partly due to their website.
If their website were better I'd encourage our studetns to use it and order from them.
