When I was at Western Supply today I noticed they had a nice selection of individual jobber length and stubby drills. I don't recall the brand but I looked at some and the grinds were very well done.
Will definitely replenish from them.
 
Keep your eye out for Dormer sales in 2025.
A friend of mine was a Sales Rep for them and I think you can get them thru a reseller that ‘we at Whitelaw’ now deal with in Mississauga.

BTW
We are currently about 100 kms North of Auckland, NZ.
WIFI is strong and weather is great (26 deg.C, Sunshine)
 
Here is the LINK to the supplier.
They are in Mississauga, Ontario.
I am not sure or the timing for the sale prices, yet.

 
Sorry . . . that would also require a 15 hour flight . . .
from Vancouver anyway.

Everybody is very sympathetic towards Canadians because of Trumps Tariff ‘threats’.
Many KIWIs have told us to stay here !!
