Metallics AS11168 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size hole does the Metallics AS11168 ship auger bit drill?
The AS11168 ship auger drills an 11/16 inch hole. That is the common size electricians use for pulling 12/2 or 14/2 romex through studs and joists without crowding the cable.
2) Will the Metallics AS11168 auger bit fit an impact driver?
It has a hex shank, so it drops straight into a 1/4 inch hex impact driver chuck as well as a standard drill chuck. No keyed chuck or adapter needed.
3) Is a ship auger or a self-feed bit better for running cable through wood framing?
A ship auger like the AS11168 has a single-flute spiral body that clears chips as you go and pulls itself through with a screw point, which is why it is the standard choice for boring wood studs and joists for wire. Self-feed bits cut larger diameters faster but bind hard and want a big low-speed drill. For an 11/16 inch cable hole in framing, the ship auger is the right tool.
4) Can this auger bit be used on wood with nails in it?
The AS11168 is a wood bit, intended for clean wood boring. Hitting nails or screws will damage the cutting lip and screw point. For remodel work where embedded fasteners are likely, use a nail-rated auger or a bi-metal hole saw instead.
5) Does the Metallics AS11168 come as a single bit or in a set?
It is sold as one bit, supplied in a pouch. If you need more than one size on the truck, order each diameter separately.
