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!

Going to be real fun and games to drop a mouse through that hole?

The devil is in the detail, what sort of access is available at each
end, etc. I was very pleased to be able to pass a draw string through
four metres of inaccessible roof void to a 75mm hole (for a pull switch)
using one of those cheap fibre glass "fishing rod" kits made for the
purpose. One I had the draw string through it was easy to pull through a
length of 1mm^2 3+e.
