Using those long drill bits is a gamble when you do side work. I always tell the homeowners that "some drywall might be involved." You can hit anything,water line,electrical line ,low voltage line, etc, and I rather cut more ceiling or wall .if it is my house is a different story, I can do whatever I want, and I will pay for the mistakes lol

Very true. I’ve definitely hit some unintended targets and come out in unexpected places.

I don't usually comment on videos, but I just wanted to say this is one to the best explanations I have seen on this process. I love how you walk through your thought process of planning the job as part of the video; even what you would have done differently. Sometimes the why is just as important as the how. You touch on all the little things. Your videos are really great. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I HATE mudding. Despise it. Can't say it enough. Good video nonetheless. Quick story - I used one of those long drill bits to run some cable through the wall in my garage. I had to punch two studs between the outlet boxes. Got through the first one, lined it up best I could into the next one, drilled the second one. Didn't see the bit. Went in the living room on the other side to the wife throwing a fit. It came out the wall right beside her head while she was sitting on the couch. She wasn't particularly happy because she had just repainted the living room.

I can totally picture that 😄. Great story ... read it to my wife and she said, "I hope she saved a little touch up paint."

Thank you so much for this video! I knew I had to bite the bullet and cut my drywall for running ethernet cables and you just gave me everything I need.

I've seen guys also use a tennis ball up near the top of the bit to make sure you're going straight up and not at an angle. I've mistakenly gone at an angle before and ended up going through a wall. The ball will press against the inside of the wall.

That's a great idea! ... I too have blown through walls before.

Look up "Bumper Balls" by Rack-A-Tiers. Those mount on a shaft just like a tennis ball, but are a bit stiffer and keep the bit centered as you go through the top plate.

A great example of what not to do. Cuts too many holes, nicks a romex wire, doesn't even check the basement for an existing route, what are you even trying to do, that wasn't explained

I've done some texturing. What are you reproducing? Slap-brush (or crow's foot), knock down, popcorn, lace, orange peel, sand? Here's a quick guide: www.bobvila.com/articles/wall-texture-types/

Hi, what do you call the fishing drill bit claw/hook? I can't find it online using those names
@FamilyFriendlyDIY
@FamilyFriendlyDIY Жыл бұрын
I believe it's called a "flex auger bit."

@@FamilyFriendlyDIY Thanks for the reply. I found the auger bit, but I meant the tool you used to bend/control the direction. I got lucky and found it on Amazon - 'flex bit placement tool' by Klein tools. Also thanks for your great video 👍
