Review: Excellent Bit - I used this bit to drill six 1" holes through a 30" diameter Red Oak tree to cable it off as a result of storm damage. I was skeptical at first seeing the bit when it arrived. I thought for sure it would twist off half way through the tree. But after using it, and taking my time with each hole being sure to clean out the shavings with each few inches of progress while drilling, it worked great! A testimony to the "Made in America" logo. I got all six holes drilled, saved the 100+ year old Oak tree, and the bill is still good for the next job. Well done Eagle Tool US! My story would not have had a successful ending had I bought the "Made in China" garbage at Home Depo or Lowes'.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Flexy Drill Bit Got the Job Done.
*by T***� on October 12, 2021*

I added an external duplex wall outlet. Power for it was taken from an existing interior GFCI outlet. The 1/2" x 36 inch long drill bit was exactly what I needed to get the job done. The 12/2 UF-B cable had to go from the interior outlet, down through the sub floor and sill (approximately 4.5-inches of wood). This got the 12/2 into the crawl space for easy passage to the exterior wall. While drilling I felt the bit strike a framing nail. But fortunately it wasn't a direct hit. So I was able to get past it without too much trouble. But I suspect the drill bit lost eight of its nine lives from the encounter with the nail. This project would have been more difficult without a long flex bit. No drywall repairs needed, everything was done inside the existing wall and in the crawl space.
