Metallics AS78 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics AS78 auger bit chuck into a cordless impact driver?
Yes. The AS78 has a hex shank, so it drops straight into a quick-change impact driver or impact wrench collet as well as a standard three-jaw drill chuck. That's the reason electricians favour this style over a round-shank auger, which slips under the torque a 7/8 inch bit generates in framing lumber.
2) Is 8 inches long enough to bore through a double top plate?
Overall length on the AS78 is 8 inches, which covers boring through a single 2x stud or a doubled top plate (about 3 inches of material) with shank left to hold in the chuck. For drilling through several framing members in line, or down through a deep built-up beam, you want a longer bell-hanger or installer bit instead.
3) How many bits come with the Metallics AS78, and how is it packaged?
One bit. The AS78 is sold as a single piece in a pouch, so if you're stocking a van or a facilities crib and want spares on hand, order the quantity you need rather than expecting a multi-pack.
4) Can the AS78 auger bit be used for anything other than wood?
It's a wood boring bit. The AS78 is rated for lumber and framing timber only, and the screw-point ship auger geometry relies on wood fibre to feed. Don't put it into masonry, tile, or steel studs, those need a carbide hammer bit or a step drill respectively.
