Klein Tools Flex Bit Placement 53715SEN

This thing is great mostly that it folds to store better

Item as described.

I bought this for a project as well as a flexible bit, but I didn't end up using them. I was trying to drill through the top plate in an existing wall which already had insulation. The bit ended up getting caught in the insulation, so I didn't use that bit. That being said, the placement tool worked very well. When I first used the flexible bit without the tool, I could feel the end of the bit hitting the exterior wall. If I would have drilled it would have gone through the wall through the siding. I confirmed this by pushing an endoscope up the wall with the bit. I was also trying to use one of those bumper balls while doing this, but it was still hitting the exterior wall. I then grabbed this tool and used it to flex the bit towards the interior. It took a little force, but it worked great! I could move the bit so it was vertical and centered on the top plate! I confirmed this with the camera again. Unfortunately, like I said, the insulation made it so I couldn't use the bit. I have some other project ideas which I could use this bit, though, so it could still be useful in the future. So if you get a flexible bit, definitely get this tool!

Great product!

I used this tool while running cables through the walls in my house, and it worked extremely well. I had purchased a long flex bit extension, and this tool made a huge difference by helping keep everything controlled and supported while drilling. It made the process much easier and more comfortable, especially during longer runs through wall cavities. I actually ended up buying two of them because I was so pleased with how well they worked. The grip feels solid in your hands, and the overall construction is exactly what you would expect from Klein Tools. Klein has always been a top-notch brand in my opinion, and the quality definitely shows with this tool. The size and design worked perfectly for handling long extensions and keeping better control during use. It’s one of those tools you may not think you need at first, but once you use it, you realize how helpful it really is. Pros: Excellent for cable and wall-running projects Helps control long flex bit extensions Comfortable and easy to hold Durable Klein Tools quality Makes drilling easier and more controlled Great addition to electrical/networking tools Worked so well I bought a second one Cons: More specialized tool for certain projects Slightly pricey compared to basic alternatives May not be needed for smaller jobs Overall, this is a very useful tool if you work with flex bits or run cable through walls often. Klein quality definitely stands out, and I would highly recommend it.
