The smaller the drill, the tougher the job when drilling holes for running cable through your house’s framing. I’ve already discussed drills. When access is limited, a rightangle drill can be very advantageous. Your holes must be drilled at least 11/2 inches from the edge of the stud or joist! This is to avoid damage to the cable from drywall nails or screws or any other fastener used to attach anything to a wall or ceiling. If the studs are exposed, you should install a metal nailing plate in front of the hole for added protection.
