No offense but those are the EASIEST bits to resharpen..few swipes with a flat file and yer off an running. Unless you are breaking them then I would go with a milwaulkee nail eater type bit. As to where to get em in bulk ask at the bigbox store, may get a good deal. Irwin or other? Get a sh!t load at sears and return them for new ones.

Sharpen them. Super easy to do.
Who ever invented work didn't know how to fish....
I agree. Sharpen them. Simple and quick enough. You don't even need to take them out of the drill if you just want a rough job done. If you use a rat tailed file, the cutting edge is an arc, you can easily make a point on the outer edge that makes the entrance and exit holes quite clean. Ping a nail and in a few strokes you have a 'new' bit.
Unless it turns into a twist bit . I have had a few that twisted the shank at the spade . Then it was a wobble twist spade bit .
