Metallics 1006B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics 1006B power bit fit a standard drill or impact driver chuck?
It has a 1/4 inch hex power shank, so it drops into any 1/4 inch hex quick-change holder, magnetic bit holder, or impact driver collet. It also chucks straight into a keyless drill chuck if you are not using a quick-change adapter.
2) What screw size does the Metallics 1006B slotted bit drive?
The 1006B is sized for #6-8 slotted screws, which covers most device and cover plate screws an electrician runs in a day. On larger slotted screws the tip will be undersized for the slot and can cam out or chew the slot.
3) How long is the Metallics 1006B power bit, and is it long enough to reach recessed screws in a device box?
It is a 2 inch overall power bit. That length reaches device screws and cover plate screws sitting slightly recessed in a box, but if you are driving down inside a deep box or through an extension ring you will want a magnetic bit holder behind it to add reach.
4) How many bits come in a pack of the Metallics 1006B?
It is sold one piece per pouch. If you are stocking a truck or a maintenance shop, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-bit set in the package.
5) Is a slotted power bit the right choice, or should I use a Phillips or square drive bit?
Use the 1006B slotted bit where the screw head has a single straight slot, which is still the norm on receptacle and switch terminal screws and on many cover plates. Slotted tips cam out more easily than Phillips or square drive under power, so keep the driver on low speed and keep pressure straight down the axis. For screws with a cross recess or a square socket, this bit is the wrong geometry and will damage the head.
6) What is the Metallics part number for the 1/4 inch hex slotted 6-8 power bit?
Metallics 1006B. That is the manufacturer part number to quote or reorder against, and it is the single model offered for this 2 inch slotted 6-8 power bit.
