HSS-G PRO Fully Ground Drill Set – 19pc – ForgeMaster

The ForgeMaster 19 piece HSS ground drill set covers every size from 1.0mm right through to 10.0mm in 0.5mm increments — one of each, housed in a steel display case that actually keeps them organised rather than rattling around loose in a drawer somewhere. If you’ve ever spent ten minutes hunting for a 4.5mm bit on a busy morning, you’ll appreciate that more than you’d expect.

HSS-G means fully ground — not rolled, not milled, fully ground. The difference matters. Ground drills hold their geometry more accurately through the whole length of the flute, which means cleaner entry, less wandering, and a sharper cutting edge that stays that way for longer. For general metalwork, pilot drilling, clearance holes, and everyday fabrication, this is exactly the kind of set you want close to hand.

Where the ForgeMaster HSS-G Pro Drill Set Earns Its Keep

Tradespeople reach for a set like this constantly. Electricians drilling back plates, plumbers sizing holes through brackets, fabricators running clearance holes for fixings — the 1.0mm to 10.0mm range handles the vast majority of site drilling without needing to dig out a specialist bit. The steel box keeps things tidy in a van drawer or on the bench, and because the sizes step up in a logical 0.5mm sequence, finding the right bit takes seconds.

A Note on the Steel Box

It’s worth mentioning the storage case properly. Plastic index cases crack, individual bit holders snap, and loose bits in a pouch become a game of lucky dip. The steel display box here is far more durable day to day, and the clear labelling of each slot means you notice immediately when one goes missing. Fewer lost bits, less faff.

At this price point, the ForgeMaster 19 piece HSS ground drill set is a sensible buy as a van set, a workshop backup, or a first proper drill set for someone getting started in the trade. The fully ground construction puts it well above the budget end — these will outlast a rolled-steel set by a fair margin in regular use.
