Metallics MFB1472 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics MFB1472 flexible fish bit drill?
The MFB1472 is a 1/4 inch diameter flex bit, so it bores a 1/4 inch hole through studs and plates for pulling cable. Overall length is 72 inches, with a 3/16 inch shank that chucks into a standard drill.
2) Is a 72 inch flex bit long enough to drill through a wall cavity from a single box opening?
At 72 inches overall, the MFB1472 flex bit reaches from an opened box or cut-in down or across a stud bay, through multiple studs or a top plate, without opening the drywall between. The 1/4 inch bore suits running low voltage, alarm, or single small cables; for bundles or larger NM runs you want a larger diameter flex bit.
3) What is a fish bit used for compared to a regular auger bit?
A fish bit like the MFB1472 has a long flexible shaft so it bends through an existing wall cavity, letting you drill studs and plates you cannot see or reach straight on. A rigid auger needs a clear straight line and open framing, which is fine on new construction. For retrofit and remodel work where the drywall stays up, the flex bit is what gets the hole. The 72 inch length also lets you pull wire back through using the hole in the bit tip.
4) How many bits come in a Metallics MFB1472 pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are outfitting a crew doing retrofit wiring, order one per installer rather than expecting a multi-pack.
