FAQs

What type of drill bits can I use with the extension bars?

These extension bars are designed for use with flat wood drill bits only.

What material are the extension bars made of?

They are made of strong, drop forged carbon steel.

Is a hex key included?

Yes, a hex key is included for tightening and loosening the locking screws.

Can I use these with impact drivers?

While these extension bars can be used with impact drivers, it's generally recommended to use them with standard drills for better control and to reduce the chance of damage.

How do I store the extension bars?

Store them in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.

What should I do if the locking screws strip?

If the locking screws strip, replace them with new screws. Avoid overtightening to prevent this.

Can I use the extension bars for metal drilling?

No, they are specifically designed for use with flat wood drill bits and are not suitable for metal drilling.

How do I ensure a straight drilling angle?

Ensure the drill bit is properly aligned and perpendicular to the wood surface before starting. Use a level or angle finder if necessary, especially when using the longer extension.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit wobbles during use.

Tighten the locking screws on both the drill bit and the extension bar. Ensure the bit is correctly aligned.

Extension bar gets stuck and won't release from the drill.

Use a wrench or pliers (if necessary) to loosen the extension bar. Check for debris or damage that might be causing the issue.

Drill bit breaks during use.

Reduce the drilling speed. Ensure the bit is sharp and in good condition. Check for proper alignment and that the extension bar is not overloaded.
