Product arrived quickly and pickup was very, very easy. Buyer, make sure you know what you are doing before you use the 72″ bit. There are plenty of good videos out there to help. Key points to be aware of include going through the other side of the wall, hitting electrical wires, and getting bound up in insulation. If you are aware of how to prevent these issues, you should be okay.

Very good product I gave 4 stars because it doesn’t have hole in the tip of it.

Would recommend the product to a professional, as I ran a cat-6 wire from the attic space down to my bedroom. Drilled some pilot wholes one on top and one on the bottom of the plaster wall. Long story short the drill bit did well as it penetrated the bedroom and restroom wall!!!!.ouch.! It was the first time using the long bit. After hours of patching and repaimting the job was done

This has proved to be the best overall cable installer’s bit I’ve ever purchased. I’ve had others from other vendors but this one has the best features from all of them.

There is not much to say but it does work. When drilling blind in a wall be careful you might hit something that is not what you want to drill into. Price is right

Installed recessed lights. Didn’t want to cut a drywall trench and have to mud. Worked as expected. Hard to keep level if passing through multiple joists though.

This bit is well made and durable, but still flexible enough to enter through a wall switchplate hole in drywall that is mounted an inch off of CMU and drill up through to the attic.

Had to run an extra wire from my Nest thermostat to connect the whole house humidifier. Worked great. The holes in each end to tie the wires to is a real timesaver. I had the wire run in a few minutes.

worked great, bored thru 4 joists (16 inch centers), stayed very close to level for 48+ inches inside floor.

Product worked great. The problem I had was ordering a size too small for my application. I needed a 3/4” rather than a 1/2”. Otherwise the bit worked just as I needed it to
