• NEVER USE A CABLE BIT INSIDE A WALL WITH EXISTING WIRING OR PLUMBING!!!
• Using a good quality power drill is a must. For larger diameter bits you will need a power drill with a high torque rating. We
always recommend using two handles.
• RPM rule of thumb: The larger the diameter of the drill bit the slower the RPM (Larger bit grabbing and binding? Slow it down
and try again.)
• FLEXIBILITY: Although all of our bits are made from a high quality US Spring Steel and all will ex to some degree the shorter
bits are not as exible as longer ones. The 18 inch, 24 inch, and 36 inch lengths are not going to ex as much as the 54 inch
and 72 inch lengths. Also, the 1/4 in. shank on the larger diameter bits is much less exible than the 3/16 in. shank on the
smaller diameter bits. Please see our product selection notes.
• Cable bits are not indestructible, too tight of an arch when drilling can make them snap. If you are drilling in a wall keep your
power drill close to the oor to prevent over stressing the bit.
• Reversing the rotation of the drill to clear chips at any sign of binding or when drilling through more than a 2 in stud will keep
your bit from snapping and being lost in the wall.
• Cable Bits have a Powder Coat nish to protect them from corrosion but it is not optimal for cutting edges and sometimes
impedes the ability of your drill chuck to keep a tight grip on the somewhat small shanks. The Powder Coat nish protects the
bits from corrosion but will cause the bit to drill slower until it wears off the cutting edges (drill a few test holes before using it
in the wall). Also, removing the coating from the ats on the shank will help your chuck keep its grip.
