Using this Lenox bi - metal self - feed bit is easy. First, make sure your drill has a 1/2 - inch quick - change adapter. Then, attach the bit to the drill. When you start drilling, the aggressive lead screw tip will pull the bit through the material on its own, so you don't have to push too hard. After drilling, the chamfered edge helps you remove the bit without a struggle. For nail - embedded wood, this bit's high - speed steel cutting edge can handle it well. Just keep in mind that after using the bit, clean it to remove any wood chips. You can use a brush to clean the flutes. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent rust. Also, if the lead screw gets worn out, you can use the extra one that comes with the bit and the wrench to change it.
