Yeah they are a bit pricey but I have probably drilled 1-2 thousand holes
with mine and have not yet replaced or sharpened the bit.


What Leon said -- they last a long time; in general, they don't get hard
use so are pretty durable. You do spend a lot of time clearing them
though


Clearing them??? I have never had to clear this particular set up. I
have seen that they get clogged up but continued drilling seems to correct
that. I mostly drill into plywood's however and you may be drilling in a
more problematic wood...

Vix bits yes, in hard and soft woods.
