Looks like it was slipping in the chuck. You can see the heat trail going down the shaft from the top. Work hardening or softening the bit to straw colour won't have helped its cutting endeavours. Do you know if you were going through any sort of a knot in the wood-or indeed a nail!?

The bluish tint looks more like go faster paint applied to the drill to me, probably to give it the look of a more expensive bit!
Did you use it upside down?
I'll have three fold of those. ooh noo I bought a flock. oh, flock me!Its another one of those heat treated drills that has a slight tinge of cobalt blue for the purist of drill buyers...can be found next to the 3 pairs of socks for £1.99 which indecently are fine highland wool from special highland sock sheep.
Shocking thing to me is you seem surprised!!
What do you expect. Drills from a supermarket
You can get a box of prestos for £40 and they’ll do you for many many resharpens.
Nobody is saving money buying cheap crap drill bits unless they never actually use them.
Supermarkets for grub not tools.
Try them clockwise
