So while I was building my work bench today, the drill bit I was using got stuck. I can't remove it in anyway that I can think of. Any suggestions? its stuck in (2) 2x4's.

Pour some liquid dish soap down the bit and wait for a bit.

reverse the drill?

I'm trying the soap thing as we speak, but I did try reversing the drill already. In fact I had to take the bit out of the drill otherwise it would still all be stuck there.

Take another bit and drill right next to the first. Then rechuck the stuck one and it should come out using reverse of forward.

Take a pair of vice-grips (locking pliers), latch on to that puppy, and spin it back out.

Perhaps the 2 boards are trying to shear the bit. Maybe if you loosen them up somewhere else the bit will unbind.

Vice grip method worked, i tried it with pliers...that of course was a no go. Thanks for the advice people.
