I think the only plus with flat bits is theyre very cheap and you can
make your own if stuck.

Handy when you need to cut the shaft off one to get the drill in between
two joists as well ;-)

While not as nice as auger bits, I don't have that much difficulty with
flat ones it has to be said. They are also dead easy to sharpen on a
bench grinder. Perhaps I have never needed to make so many holes that
battery capacity becomes an issue.
