Whether you’re drilling through dense hardwood or hardened steel, I’ve seen drill bits lose their edge within minutes of coming out of the package—and that’s exactly why I put together this 2025 roundup of the 5 best drill bit sharpeners. A dull bit isn’t just frustrating, it’s dangerous. In this video, I break down my picks based on price, performance, durability, and real user feedback, so you can stop wasting money on replacing bits and start getting more life out of what you already own. I cover everything from dedicated benchtop sharpeners like the Drill Doctor 750X (with adjustable angles from 115° to 140° and split-point capability) to the DD500X if you want a more foolproof setup with preset angles. If you’re running expensive bits and want maximum precision, I also look at the Tormek DBS-22 attachment with wide angle adjustment and consistent, symmetrical edges. And for those “get back to work” moments, I explain how the Work Sharp Ken Onion can put a quick serviceable edge on larger bits. Finally, if you already own a bench grinder, the General Tools 825 is a budget-friendly jig option for handling a pile of dull bits.
