In that case then try this,I've used this before and it performed a lot better than more expensive brands by some distance.

I tend to get my diamond drills from my local tiling shop for about 1/2 that price. To get the best life out of diamond drills you need to make sure you don't get them too hot.

You'll get 15-20 holes out of each bit if you use them correctly, even more if you look after them.

Thanks for the link I very rarely have to drill into tiles but at that price I'm going to buy a few sizes for future use. Great value for money!

It says on their website that you can hold a wet sponge against the drill bit to keep cool, how is this acheived as not sure?
