Drill Bits

These tiny bits are helpful aids for installing any of the various Cir-Kit Concepts' wiring and lighting fixtures. Their use greatly enhances and simplifies installation in all types of wood.

The No. 55 bit is used in making starter holes for the CK1023-6 Sping-Loaded eyelets and for the small hollow eyelets used at tape run interconnect points. Measures .052" in diameter.

The No. 66 wire-size bit is used principally in the CK104 kit for making the proper size hold for "fixture" and "circuit" type wires. Measures .033" in diameter.

The 1/32" bit provides the proper size hole for wall sconce wires. This hole allows the pulling of sconce wires through a wall and electrically connecting them into a conductive tape run on the opposite side of a wall. (The wires are inserted into copper strip holes made with either a push pin or No. 70 bit)

The No. 70 bit may be used in place of a push pin for making .028" holes in copper tape runs
This size hole allows easy bradding of either a 12-volt GOW or wire terminal bulb into a conductive tape run.

The No. 75 bit allows drilling of small .021" holes at tape juncture points for easy insertion of 1/8" brads in hardwood or Masonite structures. (May also be used for outlet and switch nails.) The drilling of holes simplifies brad installation and assures a tight electrical fit between the brad and copper strip.

All bits may be used with either a 1/4" electric drill or the CK201 Mini Drill.

CK1014-1 - Pilot Hole Punch (w/2 needles)
An essential tape wiring installation tool, the Pilot Hole Punch provides a convenient method of making starter holes for brass brads at all electrical interconnection points. The diameter of the punching tip is smaller than the smallest brad used, thus reducing the risk of punching excessively large holes in the copper foil tape runs. This ensures creation of the correct size hole for positive electrical connection.

The metal end may be removed for use in locations which might otherwise be awkward or hard to reach. The locking chuck provides an easy method of needle replacement in the event of breakage. Overall length is 4-13/16" with a handle diameter of 3/8".

CK1054 - Brad Placement Tool

Over the years, the use of tapewire has become the predominat worldwide method of dollhouse wiring. Its versatility and ease of installation had made it the dollhouse electrician's method of choice. However, to achieve low-profile corners, it is necessary to use tiny 1/8" brass brads to create the necessary electrical interconnection. Although these brads serve this purpose very well, they can be frustrating to hold and install.

That's where our new CK1054 Brad Placement Tool comes in. With this tool the brad can be held firmly in place as it is inserted into the tape run. No more lost brads or blue language. They are manufactured of stainless steel with a plastic coated handle for a lifetime of operation. The CK1054 should be a must for every tape wiring toolbox.
