Popular Trend Products

Trend's metal working capabilities shine through their specialist drill bits and cutting accessories. Their TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) drill bits are particularly well-regarded for drilling steel, aluminium, and composite materials, offering clean entry and exit holes without the workpiece distortion common with lesser quality bits. The Snappy range provides quick-change versatility for professionals working across different materials throughout the day, whilst their hole saws tackle larger diameter requirements in sheet metal and plate steel applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Trend drill bits suitable for stainless steel?

Yes, Trend's TCT drill bits can handle stainless steel, though cutting speed should be reduced and appropriate lubrication used to maximise tool life and cutting performance. Always ensure your power tool is suitable for the material hardness.

Can I use Trend metal working tools with 240v power tools?

Absolutely. Trend's metal working accessories are compatible with standard 240v UK power tools, including drills, magnetic base drills, and rotary tools from all major manufacturers.

What's the difference between HSS and TCT drill bits for metal?

HSS (High-Speed Steel) bits are suitable for softer metals and general purpose work, whilst Trend's TCT bits feature carbide tips that stay sharper longer and handle harder materials, abrasive metals, and high-volume production work more effectively.
