A bit off topic, but any of you resharpen drill bits and utility knife blades? If I have it nearby, a quick pass or two on a handheld knife sharpener is quicker than switching it out.

Hi Homebound, A drywall hanger friend back in the old days had a small sharpening stone hanging off of his bags. He would hit his knife blade on it now and then and rarely had to switch out blades on a project. I use a drill doctor for sharpening bits, but you can only sharpen down to about an 1/8" drill bit. Any smaller you have to do by hand. I typically just buy handfuls of the smaller bits and pitch them when they dull.

It all depends on the quality of the blade. I use Jesada Tools blades. For a project of 100 sq ft those blades will just about start to warm up. J.

I put down ~1,000 sf and used 1 Dewalt blade with no issues. Drill bits seem to wear vs the blades

Jesada is still around? Is it still run by Carlo or his children?
