Why You Save Money If You Buy A Set Or Cartridge Of Alpen Drill Bits
Did you know that it saves you quite a bit of money to buy sets or cartridges of Alpen drill bits?

There used to be a time when buying in bulk saved you money; when buying a double size or pack worked out cheaper than buying a smaller pack size. Now, you have to double-check that you are actually saving money by doing this because retailers think you will automatically accept the offer without checking to see if you are saving money! It is sad that it has come to this but there are still times when you do save money by buying bulk or sets and below I will show you why buying a cartridge pack or set of Alpen drill bits at Builders is cheaper than buying them individually.
A single quality-brand drill bit can cost anywhere from around R180 upwards depending on the size. As the diameter increases, so does the price. Taken literally, that would mean that a selection of 10 drill bits similar to that of the Alpen Sprint Master TM10 shown above would cost a minimum of R1800 for the set. This set retails at R579 at your local Builders store (prices may vary according to region).
The Alpen Combi Drill and Screwdriver Set shown at the top of this page retails at R1099 at Builders' stores around the country and includes a set of 5 wood drill bits, 5 masonry drill bits and 5 steel bits as well as a screwdriver kit, all Alpen high quality.
Not only is price a huge factor to consider but also the fact that purchasing a cartridge or set of drill bits means that you have all the sizes you need on hand for whatever job may arise.
From a personal perspective, saving money is a priority. I also have the peace of mind in knowing that when I purchase a set or cartridge of Alpen drill bits, I know that I don't need to stress for any upcoming maintenance tasks or projects that need to be done.
Alpen offers a variety of combi drill bit sets and all will save you money rather than buying single bits when you need them. Plus, when the occasion arises and you have a job to do, whether drilling into wood, walls or steel, you own all the bits you will ever need.
