where to get a flexible drill bit in dublin

fret_wimp2 · 2019-04-26 10:33:12

Anyone know where i can pick up a flexible drill bit in dublin? Im putting cables through a stud wall and there's a horizontal stud in the way. Id rather not pull a load of the wall off and have to repair it all if possible. I can see flexible drill bits online, but i want one today!

Those flexible things are pretty crap.

Much easy to just cut out the stud and some timber with a multitool and just replace the cut out plasterboard with some filler afterwards. Quicker too.

You would need a nice large hole to have that flexible thing work properly
