Work best when turning in a clockwise direction. This thread was going to start as a rant about how quickly a Kreg bit will dull. I had just finished a table and used quite a few pocket screws. So I started out on todays project and decided that I would throw a few in there as well. I grabbed my corded drill with the Kreg bit chucked from the last use, and couldn't drill the pocket hole at all. I pushed, wiggled, checked if something was blocking it, nothing I did would make that bit go into the wood. So after past experiences with getting a dull bit with my brand new jig, I figured that they must not last very long. I ran out to Lowe's to get a new bit. Got back to the shop, chucked it up and realized that my drill was set in reverse :eusa_doh::eusa_doh::eusa_doh: So now I have a $15 back-up bit for when the first one goes dull.
