How To Avoid Hitting Electrical Wires When Drilling Into Walls
 ✖  |
Raymond Rodriguez, Waxahachie, Texas: “To avoid hitting electrical wires when drilling into walls, I just slip a small piece of pipe over the drill bit to keep the bit from going in too deep. Just make the pipe 1/2 to 3/4 in. shorter than the drill bit, depending on the thickness of the drywall. Works good.
“I also came up with a way to use a regular electric drill as an impact wrench. I take a short socket wrench extension and cut off the end that fits over the socket wrench. Then I slip the extension into the drill like a bit, add the right size socket, and I’m ready to go. Works great for light-duty work.”
