Where to buy a 90 degree Drill Bit

Question

I'm doing some maintenance on my electrical system. I purchased a special L90 box, which is required by code to install a foundation level outlet. I went to an electrical supply store to purchase this box. The clerk told me that I must purchase a 90 degree drill bit, which he explained as a standard drill bit with a 90 degree bend in it. He told me these can be purchased at most hardware stores. The instructions that came with the box shows a detailed drawing of these bits. They are basically just a standard bit but they have a 90 degree bend in the middle of them so they will drill around corners.

I spent most of the day going from hardware store to hardware store. No one carries them. I even called Sears and Snap On Tools. No one has them. Where can I buy them?

Thanks

Jerry

You'd have to tell me which "perch" to use, from what I know, the unit of length known as a perch varied from 10 feet to 25 feet depending on the era and location.

The sennight is easier, it's just one week. I think sennight meant seven days in some language.
