Re: Your Favorite Install Tool?

["Crash Gordon" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

3' is a good length.

Hint with flex drills...they eat up the torque of the drill, I usually drill
the starter hole with a bell hanger bit through the header then insert the
flex drill and drill the top plate. Also, they cost more than bell hangers
and I dont want to wear them out too quick. AND you have to unload the flex
bits frequently because you will notice the flutes are blocked byt the weld
to the flex rod with makes the chips get stuck in the hole...gotta unload
often.
