I'm doing some maintenance on my electrical system. I purchased a
special L90 box, which is required by code to install a foundation
level outlet. I went to an electrical supply store to purchase this
box. The clerk told me that I must purchase a 90 degree drill bit,
which he explained as a standard drill bit with a 90 degree bend in
it. He told me these can be purchased at most hardware stores. The
instructions that came with the box shows a detailed drawing of these
bits. They are basically just a standard bit but they have a 90
degree bend in the middle of them so they will drill around corners.
I spent most of the day going from hardware store to hardware store.
No one carries them. I even called Sears and Snap On Tools. No one
has them. Where can I buy them?
Thanks
Jerry

Jerry-
The clerk gave you the wrong name....go back to the hardware store and
ask for an "outside corner bit".
