Just had a thought.
Mentioning no names, I bought some cheap Jobber drilll bits on ebay, supposedly 'quality' items.
After the first 2 sizes snapped on the first hole attempted the rest went in the bin.
Maybe your trouble is naff drillls and what you really need is a Dormer?

Strangely I nearly bought some cheaper jobber drills, then changed my mind and got some dormer ones off eBay... twice the price, but probably last more than twice as long. The current drills are from a drill set from one of the usual sources...

OK, I give up ... what's the difference between a 'jobber' and a Dormer' :confused: ... I think a 'jobber' is supposed to be L =10 X dia (when new) but any more and I am lost ... If I want to drill a 7mm hole I grab a 7mm drill bit ... Yes I know my lack of engineering knowledge makes me a Neanderthal knuckle dragger ..
