Irwin 1869517 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Irwin 1869517 extension hold any 1/4 inch hex bit, or only Irwin bits?
The patented jaw on the Irwin 1869517 accepts all 1/4 inch hex shank accessories, including insert bits, so your existing hex-shank driver bits, nutsetters and hex-shank drills will seat in it regardless of brand. The holder itself has a 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank on the drive end.
2) Is this Irwin bit holder safe to use in an impact driver, or is it drill-only?
It is built for impact drivers. The 1869517 is part of the Irwin Impact Performance Series, with a large chuck sized to take the higher torque an impact driver generates. It also works in a standard drill chuck, where the 1/4 inch quick-change hex shank reduces slipping.
3) How long is the Irwin 1869517 extension, and will it reach a screw down a recessed hole?
Overall length is 12 inches. That gets a driver bit down into recessed holes, deep framing pockets, and behind obstructions without swapping to a longer tool. Note the 12 inches is the holder's total length, so your bit adds to the reach past that.
4) Is a 12 inch quick-change holder the right choice, or should I get a plain magnetic bit holder?
Pick by reach. A short magnetic bit holder keeps the bit close to the chuck and gives you better control for general fastening. The 1869517 is for the opposite problem: 12 inches of reach for fasteners down a recessed hole, inside a stud bay, or behind ductwork where the driver body will not fit. The quick-change jaw also lets you drop bits in and out without a chuck, which matters when you are swapping on a ladder.
5) What is the exact part number to order for this Irwin impact bit holder extension?
Order Irwin model 1869517. It is a single configuration: 1/4 inch hex, 12 inch length, black oxide, so there is no finish or size choice to specify.
6) What finish is on this Irwin extension, and will it rust in a damp truck box?
Black oxide. It resists corrosion, which is the main reason it holds up in a jobsite toolbox or a damp truck bed better than a bare steel holder. Black oxide is a thin conversion coating, so it dulls with wear rather than flaking off and binding the jaw.
