Eagle Tool US Flexible Drill Bit 1/2 in 36 in
The Eagle Tool US EHS50036 is a serrated cable installer drill bit designed for electricians and low-voltage technicians pulling wire through framing. Its 36 inch overall length and flexible shaft allow access through stud cavities and tight bends where rigid bits cannot reach. The 1/2 inch diameter creates clean holes for cable bundles.
Replaces standard rigid auger bits for retrofit work
This bit upgrades from fixed-length auger bits when drilling through multiple studs or around obstacles in finished walls. The jump is worth it for remodel projects where straight-line access is blocked and a 34 inch maximum drilling depth covers the span. It is not for high-volume production drilling in open new construction where rigid bits are faster.
Check shank compatibility and workspace clearance
Verify your drill chuck accepts a 1/4 inch shank diameter with a 3/16 inch hex section and three-flat grip before ordering. Ensure the work area allows the full 36 inch length to manoeuvre without kinking the shaft. Confirm the 1/2 inch hole size matches your cable or conduit requirements.

Questions about this item
What shank diameter does the 1/2 in drill bit need to fit my chuck?
The shank diameter is 1/4 in with a 3/16 in hex size, so it fits standard drill chucks that accept a quarter-inch round or hex shank.
How do I install the flexible drill bit and what step is often missed?
Insert the 1/4 in shank fully into the chuck, tighten securely on the three flats, then feed the 36 in shaft through the cavity; the step often missed is checking that the serrated tip engages before applying full power.
When will the serrated tip need replacement on this 36 in flexible drill bit?
Replace the bit once the serrated cutting edges no longer pull through wood or drywall cleanly at the 34 in maximum drilling depth, as dull serrations increase wander and binding.
