Not that I should be telling you this but the top armour is just 2.5mm mild steel. Its just the sides that are made of this steel.

I had some HSS Sutton drill bits and used a 1-2mm bit to try and drill into this steel. After making some scratches I decided not to bother even trying. And I thought drilling stainless was bad...

I bought my 7 piece imperial set and back in the 90’s.

Cant really remember how many dollars somewhere between 50 and 80?


That link I posted was the first I tried on Google so I figured they were still around so it was worth making the suggestion.
