I am fed up with lots of .masonry drill bit some worm out very often I find a particular bit is just not up to the job and either blunts or over heats.I would like to buy one set of bit that would always do the job and last for years.

Any advise from the experts would be gratefully received

Depends what you're drilling for normal masonry we always use Hilti bits, for tiles etc the spade bits are the best, shaped like an arrow head

I suppose I am looking to for just one set to do all masonry work around the house ie brick concrete ect and a set that would last for years.I would rather pay extra for a set that would do you think?do the job.so what

As I said the Hilti bits are as good as any, but not some tiles

Theres some good diamond drills on the market as well but the are pricey
