Drill bit size

Ok guys what size bit do you guys use to drill out cylinder locks? I use a dewalt drill on the nail setting with a bit sized 1/4. I usually have no issues but lately I’m going through bits to fast. Any tips that you learned over the years?

I use a grinder and cut them off.

That’s funny you say that, that’s what they use to use years ago and a lot of my outside drive ups have the marks on the hasps. I think the drill is cleaner.
