Larry, can't address the bit sharpener - but I have done a huge amount of drilling in my day - and the absolute best drill bits I have ever used were the "Silver & Deming" brand name bits. Stayed sharp the longest. Pricey however.

Sometimes, however, it best to just use cheaper bits and toss when they lose their cutting edge on the tip. Not cost/time effective trying to keep the things sharpened.
