Drilling Through Insulation
I have to pass a 3/4" conduit through a 2x6 wall that contains pink fibreglass insulation. In the past I recall my typical drill bit snagging the insulation as it passes though.
Is there a technique or method to drill through the insulation ?.....or is it just better to open up a space by wiggling a screwdriver or rod side to side ?

Wiggle and stick is what I usually do. I also feel it allows the insulation to seal around the pipe or conduit better than if you'd cut and removed insulation.
