Metallics AL1116 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the AL1116 auger bit fit an impact driver or a standard drill chuck?
It has a hex shank, so it drops straight into a 1/4 inch impact driver collet as well as a three-jaw keyless chuck. That is the practical difference from a round-shank auger, which can slip under the torque an 11/16 bore generates in framing lumber.
2) Is a ship auger the right bit for boring studs and joists, or should I use a spade bit or hole saw?
A ship auger like the Metallics AL1116 is what electricians use for long through-bores in wood framing: the screw point pulls the bit in and the flutes clear chips out of a deep hole, which an 18 inch bit needs. A spade bit is quicker in a single 2x4 but stalls and wanders over long reaches, and a hole saw is for larger openings in sheet material, not deep framing bores.
3) How many bits come in a pack of the Metallics AL1116?
One bit per pack, supplied in a pouch. If you are kitting out a crew or stocking a van for rough-in, order a unit per drill rather than expecting a multi-pack.
4) What is the Metallics part number for the 11/16 inch 18 inch ship auger?
AL1116 is the Metallics manufacturer part number, and the number encodes the bore: 11/16 inch diameter. It is sold as a single model with no size or finish options to pick.
