Metallics BHD2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is a bell hanger bit the right tool for drilling through a double top plate, or do I need an auger?
A 12 inch bell hanger bit like the Metallics BHD2 is made for exactly this kind of reach-through work: drilling a top plate, sole plate, or stud from a point you can get a drill on, then using the hole to pull wire. It is a small-diameter bit at 5/16 inch, so it is for wire pulls and fasteners, not for running conduit or multiple cable bundles. For holes big enough to pass NM cable in quantity or to pass a conduit stub, step up to a ship auger or hole saw instead.
2) What part number should I order for the 5/16 inch by 12 inch Metallics bell hanger bit?
Order Metallics BHD2. That is the manufacturer part number for the 5/16 inch diameter, 12 inch bell hanger drill bit, and it is the only configuration offered under that number.
3) Will the BHD2 bell hanger bit work for fishing a thermostat or security wire down an interior wall?
Yes, that is the usual use. The 5/16 inch hole the BHD2 cuts is wide enough to pass thermostat wire, alarm and camera cable, or a fish tape, and the 12 inch length lets you get through a plate or a blocked stud bay from an access point above or below the opening. For anything thicker than small-gauge low-voltage bundles, drill a larger hole with a different bit.
4) How many bits come in the Metallics BHD2, and how is it packaged?
One bit per order. The BHD2 ships as a single piece in a pouch, which is the sellable unit, so order one per van or per crew member rather than expecting a multi-bit set.
