Metallics BHD12 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why use a bell hanger bit instead of a regular long auger or spade bit for running low voltage cable?
A bell hanger bit like the BHD12 has a hole through the tip so you can thread wire or a pull string through the bit itself and draw it back out of the hole as you withdraw the bit. A standard auger or spade bit only makes the hole, leaving you to fish the cable separately. For alarm, data, and communication wiring through walls and floors, that single-pass drill-and-pull is the reason electricians carry one.
2) Will a 24 inch bell hanger bit get me through a double top plate and into the attic?
Yes. A doubled 2x top plate is about 3 inches of wood, so a 24 inch bit leaves plenty of shank to drill from below the ceiling line and still clear the plate. The 1/2 inch hole suits the usual low voltage and communication cable bundles; for larger conduit or heavier feeders you want a bigger diameter bit.
3) Is the Metallics BHD12 sold individually or in a multi-pack?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch. If you are kitting out a crew or several trucks, order per tech rather than expecting multiples in one package.
4) Can I use the BHD12 bell hanger bit in a standard corded drill?
Yes, the BHD12 is a conventional round/hex shank bell hanger bit meant for a hand drill. Run it at low speed with firm steady pressure, since a 24 inch bit will whip if you spin it fast before the tip is seated in the wood.
