subject: Using Drill Bits Properly [print this page] Also, when drilling, make sure the direction of force is forming a straight line from your hand all the way to the tip of the drill bit. In other words, if the bit is being bent unknowingly because you're applying the force from the handle instead of the head of the drill (the part of the drill body that is directly behind the bit-shaft), you have a high chance of breaking your bit. I hope this little guide helped!
