Default How to drill a hole in a noggin half way down a stud partitionwall?

Right, I need to drop some networking and coaxial cables down from the
loft into a bedroom.

Drilling a hole in the ceiling wall plate is easy from the loft side to
pass said cables through.

half way down the wall is a noggin.

I wish to mount the wall socket lower down than this noggin and run the
cables to the wall socket.

I dont really want to cut a hole in the PB to access said noggin to
drill a through hole.

Is there such a thing as a 1.5m m long drill bit extender I can place
between my wood boring bit and the electric drill?

being able to do this would be a time and a making good time saver!

S.

There is an easier way. remove a strip of plasterboard over the noggin,
lay the cable and cover it with plaster then sand and repaint...

Personally I have removed and replaces so many bits of plasterboard in
this house I have lost count.

As long as you have the right paint left somewhere it all comes good in
the end.
