Metallics BHD14 Bell Hanger Drill Bit Dia 1/8" 12" (1 pc)

At 1/8 inch, no, not for most finished cable. A 1/8 inch hole takes a fish line or pull string, which you then use to draw the cable through after you enlarge the hole or route it another way. If you need to pass 18/2 doorbell wire, cat cable, or coax directly, step up to a larger diameter bell hanger bit; the BHD14 is the smallest-hole option in the family.

It is a long, small diameter bit for running low voltage and communications wire through framing. The BHD14 is the 1/8 inch, 12 inch version, sized for fish wire and pull strings rather than for conduit or large cable. Bell hanger bits are also what installers use to pass wire through an exterior wall for a doorbell, alarm contact, camera, or thermostat lead.

Bell hanger bits are made with a transverse hole near the tip so you can hook a pull wire and draw it back through the hole on the retract. On a 1/8 inch bit like the BHD14 that eyelet is small, so plan on pulling a fish line or single small conductor rather than a bundle.

One bit per pouch. If you are stocking a van or a facilities crib and want spares, order multiples; bell hanger bits in 1/8 inch are thin and are the ones that snap first when they catch a nail plate.
