Drill holes using a flex shaft

Recommended Posts

Guys does anyone have an expirience with using a flex shaft?

Basically I just bought 76" flex shaft to drill the holes and snake in the cable however I have never used it before.

Just was wondering if you have to attach something to the drill before attaching the actual flex shaft. Or it goes straight to the drill ? I also bought 46" extension. now I have line 100 " + in total.

The main problem with flex shafts is that it is difficult to keep the drill going in the right direction. For holes down through walls and up or down, I prefer to use flexible bits, which are drill bits with very long semi-flexible shafts, like this:

Auger bits are a bit easier to use in wood because once they are started, they tend to pull themselves through the wood, rather than requiring force.
