Metallics 1256B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics 1256B power bit fit a standard 1/4 inch hex chuck or bit holder?
Yes. The 1256B is a 1/4 inch hex shank power bit, so it drops into any 1/4 inch hex quick-change holder, impact driver collet, or magnetic bit holder that takes hex-shank insert bits.
2) What screw sizes is the Metallics 1256B slotted bit ground for?
It is a slotted (flat) tip sized for #6 to #8 point screws, which is the range covering most device screws, plate screws, and small machine screws an electrician runs in a day. Larger slotted screws will need a wider tip to avoid camming out and chewing the slot.
3) How long is the Metallics 1256B power bit, and does that help in a deep box?
The bit runs 3 inches overall, longer than a standard 1 inch insert bit. That extra reach is what gets the tip onto a device screw down in a deep or crowded outlet box without the chuck fouling the mud ring.
4) Is the Metallics 1256B sold as a single bit or a multi-pack?
One bit per order, supplied in a pouch. If you are kitting out a crew or stocking a van, order the quantity you need up front rather than assuming a set.
5) Do I need a separate bit holder to use the Metallics 1256B?
Only if your tool does not already take a 1/4 inch hex bit directly. Impact drivers and most cordless drills with a hex collet accept it as-is; a keyed or keyless three-jaw chuck will grip the hex shank too. A magnetic holder is optional and just helps keep the screw on the tip.
6) What is the Metallics 1256B used for on an electrical job?
It is a driver bit, not a fastener. Electricians and maintenance techs use the 1256B to power-drive slotted #6 to #8 screws, the size used on receptacles, switches, cover plates, and panel trim, from an impact driver or drill instead of a hand screwdriver.
