| Drill Bit Tip |
| Our House has frequently mentioned the importance of pre-drilling nail holes to prevent wood splitting. However, if you break the drill bit halfway through a job and you haven't got a spare, here's a tip. |

|
If your bit gets broken before you finish the job, simply cut the head off a nail with a pair of pliers, put it into the drill, and away you go. Perfect for soft wood, it will also go through hard wood, although you might get a bit of burn in the wood when you try to push the nail through. This tip is really for jobs using 2-3mm nails and shouldn't be applied to larger nails, but at least it will get you out of some fixes.
