I don't think that is the case here, and I think it may have just been a single faulty bit. This is from a Dewalt pilot-point titanium bit set. We've been using the exact same set for about a year now, and never had any problems with the bits and occasionally we were drilling through MUCH thicker material. Then recently I got my own personal set of bits so I wouldn't have to run around looking for the few bits we had left(we have a horrible habit of... misplacing things) and it is my own personal bit that broke as we didn't have the pilot-point 5/16th bit for the class to use. But up until now, we've never had a problem with this set, in fact we love them.

Also, that single bit is $7, which doesn't seem like it would be a cheap-o bit. Still though, couldn't give you a real reason why it bent, as I have no idea.
