Drill doctor: Drill bit sharpener

Worth its weight in gold if you ask me. I had a whole drawer full of old dull bits. I usually use the bench grinder to sharpen them, but I was sharpening them off center. I bought one of these sharpeners and I now have a entire drawer full of extremely sharp drill bits. I would thrown them away if it wasn't for this sharpener. I recommend one to everyone that complains about never having a sharp drill bit. I sharpened about 200+ drill bits in about an hour.

I have used one a few times with great results also.

http://www.drilldoctor.com/

They can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, Sears and I think even Wal-Mart.

This is the cheapest one:

You can get them either way. If you use the drill to run it, its a cheaper unit and portable (for use in field).

and if you use the drill to power it then you have sharp bits and a rundown drill out in the field !!!
you have to check around on these cause they do have different models(quality) but they do all work good at makin sharp bits

After these positive reviews I bought the DD400. For a limited time this unit comes with the larger bit holder free. In addition, until April 15th there is a mail-in rebate for a $20 Home Depot gift card. This is the best bit sharpener I have ever found. The split point feature is an excellent feature too.
