HSS Jobber Rolled Drill Set – 25pc – ForgeMaster

The ForgeMaster 25 piece HSS jobber drill set gives you the full spread from 1.0mm right up to 13.0mm, stepping up in 0.5mm increments throughout. That means 25 sizes, every one you’re realistically going to reach for. Whether you’re on site, in the workshop, or doing a fitout, this is the kind of set that earns its place in the top drawer of the tool chest rather than gathering dust at the back of it.

HSS, or High Speed Steel, is the standard material for general-purpose drill bits and has been for decades. It cuts clean through mild steel, aluminium, copper, timber, MDF, and most plastics without complaint. It’s not the flashiest material going, but it’s proven, sharpens well, and won’t let you down on the jobs it’s designed for. The jobber length is the most common geometry for good reason: long enough to reach through most workpieces, short enough to stay stiff and accurate.

What the ForgeMaster HSS Jobber Drill Set Covers

The 25-piece range is particularly useful because it doesn’t skip the awkward in-between sizes that a cheaper 13-piece set would leave out. Need a 7.5mm for a specific clearance hole? It’s there. Need 11.5mm for a cable grommet fitting? Also there. That complete step progression matters when you’re drilling to spec rather than just guessing the nearest size.

The bits come stored in a steel display box, which keeps them organised and stops them rattling around loose in a drawer. Each size sits in its own labelled slot, so you can see at a glance what’s missing and what needs replacing. Practical storage that actually works on a busy bench.

A Word on Getting the Most From HSS Bits

Use cutting fluid or a drop of oil when drilling metal, keep your feed rate steady, and don’t let the bit overheat. HSS can handle the heat better than you’d think, but it doesn’t like going red. Treat them well and they’ll last. The forgemaster 25 piece hss jobber drill set is a solid, no-fuss buy at this price point.
