Eagle Tool US ESP50036 Flexible Drill Bit
This flexible drill bit is designed for electricians and installers who need to pull wire through walls, ceilings or floors. Its 36 in overall length and screw-point auger style allow it to navigate between studs and joists where rigid bits cannot reach. The 1/2 in diameter creates a clean hole for cable passage.
Practical limits of a 36 in flexible shaft
The flexible shaft transmits torque over its full 36 in length, but torsion increases with every curve so aggressive feeding can bind the bit. Maximum drilling depth is 32 in, leaving a short section for chuck engagement. The 3/16 in shank fits standard 3/8 in and 1/2 in drill chucks but may slip under high load if the chuck is worn.
The 1/2 in auger diameter decides the job
A 1/2 in hole suits most residential NM and low-voltage cable bundles but is too small for larger conduit or multi-cable pulls. Builders who need wider holes for PVC pipe or service entrance cable must choose a larger bit. The powder-coated finish resists corrosion during storage but does not reduce friction while drilling.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 36-inch length for running cables through studs?
The 36-inch overall length provides a 32-inch maximum drilling depth, which covers standard stud-bay runs and leaves room for the chuck.
What does the 32-inch drilling depth mean on the job site?
You can bore through multiple 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 plates in one pass without withdrawing the bit to clear chips.
Will the 3/16-inch hex shank fit my 1/2-inch drill chuck?
Yes, the 3/16-inch hex shank with three flats seats securely in any standard 1/2-inch keyless or keyed chuck.
