Using Flex Bits:

• When using Switch Bits, Adapters and Extensions, make sure set screw faces flat side of shank.
• Never overtighten a Switch Bit set screw. "Snug is Good."
• To prevent binding, reverse the bit a little ways, then drill in again.
• A Flex Bit Placement Tool helps bend the Flexible Bit, positioning the Drill Bit inside the wall (or ceiling) cavity.

Standard wall framing is 16� from center of a 2x4 to center of the next 2x4. Most drill bits will not fit between the framed sections with a standard hand drill so a straight hole is impossible to drill.

The Switch Bit Hex Adaptor (Quick Switch), and the hand drill measure an average of 14� and will fit between the 2x4�s to make a straight hole.
