An attachment for the chuck of a drill comprising:

• a reaming tool, the reaming tool including
• a housing defining an interior chamber, the interior chamber having an upper portion and a lower portion,
• the upper portion including means exterior of the housing for attaching to the chuck for rotation therewith, and
• the lower portion including an open cylindrical axially extending tubular portion of a first predetermined axial length in open communication with the interior chamber, and of a first predetermined inside diameter,
• a snake having a first end, an intermediate portion in the interior chamber and a second end extending through the cylindrical tubular portion;
• the snake being loose in the interior housing and the cylindrical portion, and being of an outside diameter slightly less than said first prediameter, said second end comprising a reaming coil, sleeve means arranged circumferentially about the cylindrical tubular portion having a radially extending hand grip handle;
• the sleeve means being a shorter length than the cylindrical tubular portion with a portion of the cylindrical tubular portion extending beyond the sleeve means at all times in use, and fastening means to connect the snake axially within the tubular portion for rotation of the snake with the housing and said fastening means being adapted to release the snake for relative axial advancement of the snake relative to the tubular cylindrical portion,
• said fastening means comprising a hole in the extending length of said cylindrical member and a screw in threaded engagement in said hole, said screw having an exteriorly accessible portion and said screw having an inner end in engagement with the snake to constrain the snake to rotation with the cylindrical portion on rotation of the housing and being adapted to be withdrawn for axial movement of advancement of the snake relative to the housing,
• said upper portion comprising a frustoconical top being in open communication with the interior chamber, and
• said frustoconical top including an upper portion having means for attachment of said upper portion for rotation with the chuck.
