12 in. Extended Length Multi-Material Drill Bits
Okay, you may be asking what’s the big deal about drill bits? Well, Milwaukee’s SHOCKWAVE bits feature a solid carbide tip with an edge designed to be used on a wide range of materials. These bits are tough and not prone to breaking in rugged materials like steel or concrete. And because they actually work well for a bunch of tasks as well as in standard chuck drills and 1/4 in. impact drivers alike, they save time from unnecessary bit swap outs.
The 12 in. extended length is optimized for through hole drilling applications. Of note, the multi-material design works great for stacked materials. So if you have a steel plate on a sole plate with a poured concrete floor… a single bit will handle them all with ease. They will be available February 2024 in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 in. diameters.

The hole lets you attach and fish a wire through the fresh hole(s) as you pull the bit back out.
These bits feature aggressive tip geometry for faster cutting and non-stick, coated flutes for fast chip removal and reduced binding. Specifically, Milwaukee is launching 4 new Bellhanger drill bit options in an 18 in overall length. They include diameters of 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 in.
