Finally tried that new flexible drill bit from Harbor Freight

I was sure it would snap on the first tough pull through a joist, but it handled a run of RG6 through a tight spot in a 1950s Reno crawlspace without a hitch. The 48 inch length was perfect for getting around a duct I couldn't move. What other cheap tools have you guys been surprised by lately?

Those flexible bits are lifesavers in old crawlspaces.

Actually, those are usually called flex bits. They're not really flexible like a hose, more like a long spring that can bend around stuff. The real lifesaver is having the right driver attachment so it doesn't just spin uselessly.
