Is it a masonry drill bit though?

I double checked its a multipurpose drill bit by bosch which says it can
drill through wood plastic brick etc and is silver and has a blueband
going around the whole of it making it look very cute.

They'll drill most bricks apart from very hard ones. Do you know what type
you were drilling? Assuming they were bricks?

If it was sharp, of course. And you used a low speed. High speed and not
enough pressure will blunt them quite quickly.

Basically you can't use too much pressure or too low a speed. Pressure is
produced by body weight rather than strength. And can be more difficult
above say waist height.

But as others have said with Xmas coming up get an SDS drill. They don't
rely on pressure from you anything like as much.
