Screw-point cable drill bits each have a self-feeding tip that pulls the bit into the workpiece and helps prevent it from moving, or walking, during drilling. The tips have sharper threads and provide more pulling power than other styles of cable drill bits with self-feeding tips. The bits have holes on their shank and near their tip for threading wire onto the bits to pull it through surfaces after drilling.

Auger-style cable drill bits have wide flutes that evacuate chips more efficiently than other styles of cable drill bits. Each auger bit has a self-feeding tip that pulls the bit into the workpiece and helps prevent it from moving, or walking, during drilling. The bits have holes on their shank and near their tip for threading wire onto the bits to pull it through surfaces after drilling.

The serrated head on these cable drill bits helps pull the bits through walls and other surfaces. Each bit has a split-point tip that helps prevent it from moving, or walking, during drilling. The bits have a hole on their shank and near their tip for threading wire onto the bits to pull it through surfaces after drilling.

These two-piece cable drill bits consist of an interchangeable head and shank. Also known as switch bits, they allow users to exchange the bits' head with a compatible head of a different style to adapt the bits for the material being drilled or replace the bits' shank with a shank of a different length to provide the reach required for a particular cable-installation application. The heads and shanks have holes for threading wire onto the bits to pull it through surfaces after drilling.

Cable drill bit placement guides are handheld tools that provide leverage for bending cable drill bits to help users steer and position the bits inside the spaces behind walls or above ceilings.
