Nobody ever wants to use left-handed bits cuz when you're reaching for a left-handed bit, you're trying to solve a problem you wish you didn't have. Uh, number one, notice we only flute the first 3/4 of an inch. Reason being, when you flute a bit, you weaken the shank. And if you've used left-handed bits before, you know, if you're more than 3/4 of an inch deep and that hasn't pulled it yet, that ain't what's going to pull it. And you're ready to go to an extractor. Now, you're probably not going to use an extractor that big, but point being is that's why we do that. And then I've actually had to cut bits in half before to get it into a tight area. Don't cut ours in half. We did it for you. That's why we give you the jobber length if you need more reach. Yeah. Yeah. Stubby length if you need more clearance. So, use the stubby length in an impact driver. Or if you want more reach, use the jobber length in a traditional drill. You've got almost 9 in of variation. So, I've got more 9 in more reach here if I need it. I got 9 in more clearance here if I need it. And then number three, you can use them in an impact driver. That ratcheting can help break that bolt loose uh as well. And then the number one thing guys tend to forget, you got to run your drill in reverse. Uh, believe it or not, that's easy to forget when you've been running in forward your whole life. You're drilling your hole. Those are left-handed bits.
