Specialist drill bit suppliers to UK trade and industry since 1985 — over a million bits in stock, expert advice, and the exact size you need, dispatched today.
Four decades of one thing done well
UK Drills was established in 1985 and is run from our trade counter at 26 Wigan Road, Hindley, Wigan. We’re not a general tool shop that happens to sell a few drill bits — drill bits are what we do, and have done for 40 years. In that time we’ve supplied millions of drill bits to tradespeople, engineers, fabricators and workshops across the UK. That focus is why they keep coming back.
If it’s made, we’ve probably got it in stock
We hold over one million drill bits in stock for same-day dispatch — and crucially, we carry HSS in 0.1 mm increments, so you get the exact size the job needs, not the nearest the big sheds happen to keep. The range covers HSS, ground HSS, titanium, M35 and M42 cobalt, masonry, SDS, wood and auger, TCT, step, diamond core, glass and tile bits, plus taps, dies and accessories.
Expertise, not just boxes
Anyone can list a product. Forty years on the trade counter means we can tell you which bit and how to use it — which is why we publish free technical guides, run an online Drill Bit Finder that matches the right bit to your material, and answer questions directly. Not sure what you need? Email info@ukdrills.com and a person who genuinely knows drill bits will tell you.

Trade accounts
Buying regularly? A UK Drills trade account applies an automatic discount at checkout based on your annual spend — from 5% up to 10% off, with free delivery built into the higher tiers. Step up to a Platinum account for bespoke pricing, 30-day credit terms and a dedicated phone line. No application needed for the standard tiers — the discount simply applies when you’re signed in.
Wholesale, bulk, bespoke and OEM
We import direct and have done since 1985, so beyond the shelf we handle wholesale and bulk orders in carton and pallet quantities, bespoke and special orders, and OEM supply — whether you need a pallet of one size, drill bits made to your own specification, or a regular contract supply for resale. Our web prices are already trade-keen, so there is rarely much left to take off, but for genuine volume we will look at one-off bespoke pricing. Get in touch at info@ukdrills.com with the sizes and quantities you need.
