These work well with an impact driver but with a standard drill they tend to stop just before they exit the joist as the screw tip protrudes and is unable to pull the blade into the wood.https://media.NoLinkingToThis/is/image//ae235?src=ae235/8676V_P&$prodImageMedium$

when drilling through timber you must pull back to clear the drill bit and it go through quicker and will not stop until you are at the other side of the wood .These work well with an impact driver but with a standard drill they tend to stop just before they exit the joist as the screw tip protrudes and is unable to pull the blade into the wood.
I remember going to a new build (being built by a gang of Bulgarian builders). They were using the wooden FinnJoist(?) I-beams. These are made with a number of push out holes in the beams.I beams everywhere
Never had a house where the knock out holes lined up.I remember going to a new build (being built by a gang of Bulgarian builders). They were using the wooden FinnJoist(?) I-beams. These are made with a number of push out holes in the beams.
This makes it a doddle, as a pop with a hammer on each joist, and there's your cable run.
HOWEVER
the joists are not symmetrical and
the muppet builders had not set out the beams so all the holes aligned. Not a problem for me as the cables can zig and zag. The plumber, however was not amused. (He was from Poland).
Same here Tel when I used to do house bashing I beam joists only came in at the end of me doing it.25mm sds auger bit in 110V makita. last job i did, the joists were 4" thick. 100+ holes in 1 hour.
