I dropped my bit for my chordless drill. It bent the tip a little but is still functional. I hope to have a new one from treehopper before it breaks. One of my best investments I believe.

A few points...Ok, so I got my old Woodpecker drill out and two others (can’t recall their names) The woodpecker bit is in fact 1/2” shorter, but in 30 years of use it has always seemed to be deep enough for any hardwoods. I set the timer and drilled holes as fast as I could with each. The Woodpecker came in at 24 seconds, #2 at 48 seconds, and #3 at 44 seconds. I feel sure that the geometry of the woodpeckers handle makes it more agile in the hand and contributes to its speed.
Something to be considered is that I don't use it much at all anymore due to my age (71) I’m sure if I drilled a dozen with each it would be more scientific, but it’s hot outside. I think the woodpecker being 1/2” accounts for some of the speed, but the handle spins much easier due to being able to angle it outwards as it spins, and it’s light.View attachment 71150
