I bought a tool in the past that drilled a conical hole, the size and
shape of the pointed end of a wood pencil. This bit is used to drill
out an existing screw hole and then a plug, either purchased or made
with a dowel and pencil sharpener, is glued and driven into the conical
hole, and chiseled off flush with the surface effecting a patch.
I need one now and can't find a source or manufacturer. Does anyone
recall who sells it, or manufactures it?
Thanks,
Boden
good grief, on the odd occasion when I've had to plug a hole, I just
grab one of my Makitas and a 1/4" bit, drill a hole, and wack off a bit
of 1/4 hardwood dowel, glue and insert the dowel, trim with a flush saw
and I'm back in business. No special tools or skills required! :)

There's a chance for a good shot there but I'll refrain :)
