yankee push drill - unpushing? - mdhills - 01-04-2016
What is recommended way to back the bit out of the wood after drilling?
I picked up a handyman version of this from a garage sale earlier this year. My son likes it, but the bit tends to get stuck in the hole he just drilled in pine -- seems like it takes a pretty big tug from an adult to get out.
Thanks,
Matt

Some of them have a reverse setting. I put mine in reverse and give it a push or two.

Rub some wax on the bit. Works like a charm for my pushdrills.

Twist as you pull back.
