If there was nothing behind it then this is a pure case of operator error. The brand of bit you are using is not the problem. Revise your drilling technique like titanicf150 mentioned and replace the bent bit.

A little fatigue does not help here... -hehe! When using power tools slow and easy is my rule. It seems when I get in a rush bad things happen.
