Klein Tools 53715SEN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a flex bit placement tool actually do on a wiring job?
The Klein Tools 53715SEN is the tool you clamp onto a flexible drill bit to steer it inside a finished wall. It positions the bit horizontally or vertically within the wall cavity so you can drill through studs or plates from a single access hole, then guide the bit back out to pull wire. It is a bit-aiming and retrieval tool, not a drill or a bit itself.
2) Does the Klein 53715SEN flex bit placement tool come with a flexible drill bit?
No bit is included. The 53715SEN is the placement tool only, so you supply the flexible installer bit you intend to run. Order the bit, and any extension, separately.
3) How long is the Klein 53715SEN, and will it fit in a pouch or tool bag?
Overall length is 11 inches (27.9 cm) and it weighs 1 lb (0.5 kg). It folds, so it packs down smaller than a standard fixed placement tool, which is the main reason to choose it for a pouch or a service bag you carry up a ladder all day.
4) Can I use the 53715SEN to drill near live circuits in an occupied building?
No. Klein's instructions for the 53715SEN are explicit: never use it on or near live electrical circuits. De-energize the area before you drill, wear approved eye protection, and follow the safety instructions in your drill's owners manual. On retrofit work in occupied space that means confirming the circuits in the cavity are dead first.
5) Is this the right tool for running cable through finished walls, or should I open the drywall?
Fishing with a flex bit and a placement tool is how you avoid opening the wall. The 53715SEN lets you aim the bit from one box or access opening and drill through studs and top or bottom plates in the cavity, keeping patch work to a minimum. If the run crosses fire blocking or you cannot reach the target from a single opening, cutting access is still the faster route.
6) What is the Klein flex bit placement tool made of?
The body is aluminum, with a Cushion-Grip handle for a non-slip hold when you are working the bit blind inside a wall cavity.
