Driving Bit Trials

Unsure about changing your driving bit?

We off a bit hire programme, whereby selected stainless steel bits are available for a minimum charge (usually £20), you can trial the bit for a month & if it works for you, then you pay the difference of the hire charge & the cost of the bit. If it’s not suitable then just return it clean.
