Sharpen it.
I used to be a fair hand at freehand drill bit sharpening and I recently thought I had lost my chops but instead, I think the problem is in the quality of the bits themselves

It seems like they are sharpened and then hardened and the hardening goes down about a quarter of the diameter of a human hair (an American human hair, not a commie metric human hair) and once you sharpen it and go through that minuscule layer of hardening the rest is recycled Bud Light cans

I have 50 year old bits that are way stouter than almost anything you can buy today

In this case I don't think they make them like they used to

You’re probably right about that. Hand sharpening drill bits is a skill I’m glad I learned as a young adult.

Ok kids, I've got an idea.
The neighbor to my north passed away.
I have a feeling the 4 kids will be wanting to chunk up the land and sell it.

We should all pitch in and buy it. Turn it into a theme park called not so pro land.
Petting zoo, slacking area, pig rental shed for Dallas. Randy can bale hay. And I won't end up with 8+ new neighbors.
There goes my new truck and tractor lol
Part of my remember regimen, repeat the ones I do remember, add too them as I can. Very difficult for me. I am trying.
How often do you have nightmares and scream my name?
No worries, I struggle with names as well without repetition or something specific that helps me remember them by. Now add in online names/persona and then actual names, on top of all the other names I need to remember, and it gets to be a lot. So I understand.
So what’s my persona ?
Need not remember names, just a bunch of “old farts”. Is this the bingo lounge ??
You *b-wordes will never be able to forget me
Get off my land!!! We aren’t communist yet! Is what I always say
Close enough
My name is easy to remember.
I had it legally changed last year to Mr. Dixie Normous.
You forgot the last part

In your mouth
I don't give a *f-word about dall. Randy seems like pulling a tooth is the end of the world.
He thinks he’s one of those influencers on onlyfans lol

If you pud pounders were to buy a chain grinder that's does a decent job but won't cost a *f-wordton of greenbacks, what would you buy?

I've got a bunch of jacked up chains and some I were able to file back into shape. 1 just ground one on my pos grinder and the cutters are visibly different length now and the bish just spits powder... I kinda want to blow the fuggin thing up. I've been getting my aśs handed to me with chain sharpening lately.
