example, there's the 115 piece drill set on page 48 of the current
Screwfux catalogue; one might suppose that it was good value at £36.99,

Is this the number and letter set?

Yes.

If so, it's quite the most blunt set of drills I've ever bought.

Really? Perhaps your set was made on a Friday or just after the Chinese
New year celebrations, for the set I bought some months ago seems quite
satisfactory. Having seen the difference in prices, though, I rather
doubt I'll even try to buy the next two sets from Screwfux.

Then there's the set of "blacksmiths drills" -- 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and
20mm drills in HSS with a reduced shank to fit a 13mm chuck, for £24.99.
At Chronos [1] the blacksmiths' drills come in sets of 8, for £32.95 --
the metric set is 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 25, the imperial set is
9/16" to 1" by 1/16" increments. In other words, they're slightly less
expensive and come in more useful sizes.
