Finally had to buy a drill set for some bloody Ikea furniture that needed drilling. OMG. Then it didn't have the necessary 7,00 mm wood drill bit, they were not documented by seller, but I bought one from Bosch and it was compatible and I managed to put up the bloody Ikea. Drill bit sizes:
The included screw bits are:
  • Torx: T10, T15, T20, T25, T27, T30
  • Philips: PH1, PH2, PH3
  • Flat: S5, S6
