Metallics MFB1454 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics MFB1454 flexible fish bit drill, and how long is it?
The MFB1454 is a 1/4 inch diameter flexible installer bit with a 54 inch overall working length, so it drills a 1/4 inch hole and can reach through multiple studs or plates in one pass. The drive end is a 3/16 inch shank.
2) Is a flexible fish bit like this the right tool for drilling through studs for retrofit wiring, or should I use a standard auger bit?
A flex installer bit is for fishing wire where you cannot get a drill square to the work: you feed the shaft in through a cut-in box or small opening, flex it to angle through the plate or studs, then pull cable back through the hole. A rigid auger or ship auger is the better choice for open-frame new construction where you have straight access. The 54 inch length on the MFB1454 is aimed at the retrofit case, letting you reach down a wall cavity or across several bays from one opening.
3) Do I get more than one bit with the Metallics MFB1454?
One bit per order. The MFB1454 ships as a single piece in a pouch, not as a multi-size set.
4) Can I pull wire directly with the Metallics MFB1454 fish bit?
Flex installer bits of this type are drilled through and then used as the pull: the 1/4 inch bit leaves a hole sized for a small pull, and you attach the cable at the tip end to draw it back. For heavier NM cable runs, drill the hole and follow with a fish tape rather than loading the 54 inch flexible shaft.
