    I don't remember the names of the shops that are as bad as the BGS...
    There are equivalents that look like warehouses but there's a lot more competition than here.

    From the ones I mentioned, Castorama is on the cheaper end but still looks more like a shop than a warehouse and Leroy Merlin is nicer.

    Then in the centre of Paris you have the dream of the DIY shop, the 'BHV'... with prices that go with the location. I always go for a stroll when on holidays...

    For the really small sizes, 1 and 1.5mm you'll probably have to use the standard twist drills. From what i have seen the bradpoints start at 2mm, the most common size sets start at 3mm.
    When you drill the smallest holes, just make sure you use a nail or a sharp punch to mark the spot to give the drill something to locate the tip and prevent it moving sideways on you.

    Yeah they should work fine, like i said you will just need to be super careful in punch marking the holes and in starting your drill hole.

    Mooer Black Secrets are phenomenal RAT clones, especially for the price and for their size!

    I am a big fan.
