Customer Reviews for Klein Tools 3/8 in. x 72 in. Flex Auger Bit

Bought to run 14/2 through ceiling whule adding can lights. Joists are the plywood type and the bit barely made it through two cuts before stripping out. I was using a battery powered Ryobi so it’s not like I overpowered it. I’d look at another product for a similar project.

Got this late to drill through a stud to route electrical wire. Not only did it drill through the stud, it also drilled through the hot water pipe next to it. Inctedible product

This bit works so good, it not only drilled through the too plate in my attic, bit through my roof too!!! Excellent product!!

i agree with Denver Dude on the metal is too soft, especially on the end that is inserted into power driver. And I spent 50+ on it.

This drill bit was used to drill through the top sill plate and fire barrier blocks from the attic, in order to add a wall outlet, and move an existing outlet for Cable TV, the bit grabbed immediately, drilled through the wood effortlessly and left a large enough hole to fish wires through easily. I could not have finished this job without this bit.

Just what I needed to get through blocking in a wall. The hole in the tip allowed me to pull srting through the holes.

Love the reach… retro installers this is a must!

In combination with a corded drill, made the work effortless.

The shaft was a little flimsy could be a little thicker for more sturdiness

Did exactly what it is designed to do.

Amazing tool..allows great reach and smooth cutting through various would components and assemblies.

Zipped through the wall like butter

I bought 2 bits to hopefully get the job done. I had 6 boards to get through. The first bit only lasted through 2 and the 2nd bit was able to get through the other 4. For the price of these bits you’d think one bit would do the job. I returned one bit and kept the other.

This is the second time I try this product. For some reason this always gets stuck on older wood, then it spins, and doesn’t break through. Then it spins by the drill chuck.

The tool I purchased was used already and the tip was dull it couldn’t cut through the would not a good buy on my part maybe if it was brand new with out any flaws it would have worked

It’s a nice tool but the end is too soft so if it gets stuck the drill eats through it. And it’s not as flexible as you really want it to be. Kinda stiff. Ended up returning it

Not impressed very expensive. Didn’t last long didn’t even finish the one job I was using it on should be made to come with Replacement auger so it’s not trash in one day

It is not flexible enough. It is hard to angle it to drill through ceiling joists.

Bit dull after 1 use

Worked great getting wiring under sidewalk
