Metallics 160P2B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics 160P2B power bit fit a standard 1/4 inch hex quick-change chuck?
Yes. The 160P2B has a 1/4 inch hex shank, which is the standard quick-change power bit shank used by impact drivers, bit holders, and magnetic nut setters. Drop it straight into a 1/4 inch hex collet or chuck it in a keyless drill.
2) What screw sizes does a #2 Phillips power bit drive?
A #2 Phillips point is the size for #8 and #10 screws, which is exactly what the 160P2B is rated for. That covers the bulk of electrical work: device and switch screws, box mounting screws, cover plates, and strap or clamp screws. For #4 and #6 screws you want a #1 Phillips instead, and for #12 and larger a #3.
3) What is the difference between a 6 inch power bit like this and a 1 inch insert bit with a holder?
A power bit is one solid piece: the 1/4 inch hex shank and the #2 Phillips point are the same bit, 6 inches end to end. An insert bit is short and needs a separate magnetic holder. The one-piece power bit removes the joint, so there is no wobble at the holder and nothing to fall out, and it reaches deeper. The trade-off is you cannot swap points without pulling the whole bit.
4) Can I use this Phillips power bit in an impact driver?
The 1/4 inch hex shank is the correct interface for an impact driver collet, so it will seat and drive. Be aware a long 6 inch bit flexes more under impact than a stubby insert bit, so back off the trigger on small #8 device screws to avoid camming out and chewing the recess.
5) How many bits come in the Metallics 160P2B?
One bit per pouch. The 160P2B ships as a single piece in a pouch pack, so if you are stocking a van or a shop crib and want spares, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
6) Will this bit work for drywall screws or deck screws, or is it only for electrical fasteners?
Nothing about the 160P2B limits it to electrical work. It is a #2 Phillips point on a 1/4 inch hex shank, so it drives any #8 or #10 Phillips-head fastener, drywall screws and general wood screws included. Metallics catalogues it on the electrical side because #8 and #10 Phillips is what device and box screws use, but the bit itself is general purpose.
