Metallics QB22 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics QB22 Quik-Bit wood bit drill?
The QB22 is a 3/8 inch flat (spade) wood bit, so it cuts a 3/8 inch hole in wood. That is the common size electricians bore through studs and joists for pulling small cable runs and low voltage wire.
2) How long is the QB22 Quik-Bit, and will it reach through a double stud or plate?
Overall length on the QB22 is 16 inches. That extra reach lets you bore straight through doubled studs, top and bottom plates, or stacked joists without adding a bit extension, which a standard 6 inch spade bit will not do.
3) Is the Metallics QB22 for drilling wood or metal studs?
Wood only. It is a flat wood boring bit, intended for timber framing, studs, joists and plates. For steel studs you need a step bit or a hole saw rated for metal, not a spade bit.
4) Which Metallics model number do I order for the 3/8 inch 16 inch Quik-Bit?
The part number is QB22 from Metallics. It is a single model with no size or finish options to pick, so QB22 is the full ordering designation.
5) Will a 3/8 inch spade bit be big enough for running 12/2 or 14/2 romex through studs?
A 3/8 inch bore is on the tight side for jacketed cable. It suits single small conductors, low voltage, thermostat and alarm wire. For pulling one or more runs of standard NM-B cable most electricians bore 3/4 inch or larger, so step up in diameter for those pulls and keep the QB22 for the smaller holes.
6) How many bits come in the Metallics QB22 pack?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or kitting out a crew, order by the piece rather than expecting an assortment set.
