Mark Horton: I only use this for installing can lights. Not really good for anything else and it's not really good for cans either. Not enough room in 6 inch hole for this to work.

RChheda: This is good sturdy tool but understand that you need a lot of practice and experience to use this right. I was able to get through first truss fine but going through the second one I drilled through the ceiling to carpet on second floor. In the end still better than patching up drywall holes. Not terrible but still a skill that you need to perfect. FYI.. my drill was 72 inch long.

Shaishav: I am agreed with the purpose of the tool and the material they have used to make. It is solid metal and works okay. The big annoying part is when you use 72 inch long bit, It is very difficult to bend the bit using this tool for average hight person. My hands are not super long so I couldn't hold tool in one hand and drill in other. Sothat is why bit keeps sleeping off the tool. They couldhave used rubber grip or something that would allow bit to turn also. May be I am expecting too much. I hardly ised the bit twice and the tool left hell lot of amount of scratch marks on it. So be aware of it. It shaves away some material from the but every time you use it.

Kyle John Thorson: 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!
