It’s best to keep the angle of the DrillEver at greater than 90 degrees to the drill; that keeps pressure on the drill without the levr point wanting to disconnect. You can stop drilling and reposition the point instantly to keep the lever greater than 90 degrees. Depending on the depth of the hole you’re drilling, like maybe through a 12″ beam, you’ll reposition the lever a few times.
Always keep your head to the SIDE of the DrillEver and the drill. That way you won’t be inline with the lever if the point comes free. It’s just a smart way to do it.
You can position the DrillEver point up against the next stud or joist to push from. That way you’re not using the point to dig in- you have an even easier way to use your DrillEver for power.
