Fars666 0 Posted March 31, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
survtech 0 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
