Hi, I'm Tim Carter from AskTheBuilder.com, and I'm getting ready to install a new sink
0:09
drain right here. And it requires that I have to drill a 2 1⁄8 inch diameter hole right
0:16
through, look at this, this 2x4 bottom plate, and below it is a 3 ¼ inch thick subfloor
0:23
That adds up to 2 1⁄4 inches of wood. That's a pretty big distance to go through. You might
0:29
think, well Tim, that's not a big deal. I'll just use my regular drill and put a hole saw on it
0:33
You know, something like this. This is a regular drill with a hole saw. Trouble is, these hole
0:37
saws typically are only meant to drill through things maybe about an inch thick. Here's the tool
0:43
that I would use. I think it's a much better tool. This is a half inch right angle drill
0:50
and it delivers incredible power out to the drill bit, which is out here on this shaft
0:56
and it spins at a slower speed than a regular drill, but delivers incredible power
1:02
Watch how fast I can drill a really precise hole with this particular tool
1:07
You're going to really, really like this a lot. Oh Oh oh I love the smell of pine shavings in the morning
1:28
Oh, okay. Check this out here. Come here and look at this
1:32
I want to show you how cool that hole is. Look at this. That is a really nice hole
1:39
It goes all the way through down to the basement. and you can see that the inch and a half pipe fits perfectly
1:46
So the tip I want you to remember is this. When you have to drill a large diamond hole through some wood like this
1:52
make sure you get the right tool and get the right bit, even if it means you have to go to a tool rental place
1:57
It will really save you time and money. I've got to get back to work. If you want to discover more home improvement tips
