Good quality

I do a fair amount of fabrication work using wood and all kinds of metals. I like using these because I can use them with my impact driver on wood if I don’t have my drill handy. And since they have the hex shank I have a lot less slippage in my drill. You just have to be more careful of the bit grabbing, like when you’re breaking through a piece of metal using your hand drill, because it won’t slip in your chuck, but may either break or slip inside the hex. I haven’t had these slip, but have on less quality bits.

Awesome quick bits for #10 screw holes

I use a ton of #10 screws and wanted bits for pre drilling holes. These aren’t super long but they are quick. They drill faster than most other bits I use and I can use them in my impact drivers when I’m in a hurry. I honestly love that the Shockwave bits come ready with a 1/4 hex bit and I will definitely be acquiring more after using these extensively. I especially like the tip design as they don’t dull easily and honestly I use these to drill sheet metal, wood and hard wood all the time and they just work.

Works great for metal

The Cobalt Red Helix drill bits from Milwaukee are a great bit for drilling metal. I tested the accuracy of the Split Point Tip by drilling a hole in a pipe wall without using a punch to seat the bit. Granted, it was a black iron pipe, but it worked very well. There was no noticeable wandering of the tip. The bit cut through the pipe without hesitation or snagging. Milwaukee recommends this bit for stainless.

Strong and convenient

Milwaukee's Shockwave Titanium drill bits are great. Years ago, I relied on straight shaft drill bits (that's all there was) when I needed to drill a hole. I remember times when the bit would spin inside the drill because I didn't tighten it enough. These new bits don't have that problem and they can be used in drills and impact wrenches. The 1/8" size is my standard, I use them constantly. It is the size that seems to work with every job. They are also great for starting a hole and then move onto a bigger bit. They do break, so I was happy to see them available in a 5 pack.

Good bits!

I have been drilling a lot of metal lately and we all know that to drill hard metal you need a cobalt but to have any luck. I got these Milwaukee bits and went to town on the steel I was drilling. These things are awesome just put a little oil on the surface and they will cut like butter. The cutting edge on the end has a special angle to cut quicker and the bits are the perfect length so they aren’t too brittle. The coating on the bits makes me think they will lay a long time. I’m very happy with these bits.

Milwaukee Titanium Impact bits

I like this type of drill bit. I've evolved as technology has advanced.. Currently you find me carrying an impact/hammer drill 99% of the time. And yet at times I get caught off guard with the need to drill a hole to make what I'm doing easier.. Its not always convenient to run home and get a chuck style drill gun. Which is where having drill bits/impact bits on hand works out great.

Milwuakee Red Helix Cobalt drill bits

This 5 pack of Milwuakee drill bits are handy and give an extra plus to the day to day needs and uses... Your standard drill bits can wear down fast and won't always hold up to my demands and needs.. With Milwuakee Cobalt Drill bits, these bits allow you to go further and last longer than standard HSS bits. Cobalt gives the bits a tough surface stronger edge with regards to the bits ability.. You can use these bits on wood, Metal, Cast Iron, and Stainless Steel... The split point allows for drilling from the very center of a hole out to its full diameter. These drills have an included angle of 136° or 68° per side as opposed to 118° or 59° angle per side on HSS bits...

Very Sharp

The Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 1/8 inch twist drill bits are very sharp and cut very well. They come in a 5 pack and have a hexagon end. The hexagon head keeps the bit from slipping when drilling which is a great feature. I even used it in a small battery driver tool and it even could drill holes because of the hexagon end. These bits are titanium which makes them cut better and helps them to stay sharp. They can also be resharpened with a drill bit sharpener.

The drill bit you need for hard metal

Over the years I have tried a range of drill bits from different manufacturers and most of them either won’t cut stainless steel or get blunt very quickly. Milwaukee’s Red Helix is the best I have found so far. I had been using DeWalt but now have switched to these whenever metal is involved. The package discusses benefits of use of a 135deg split point to prevent walking and “variable helix” flue design to remove material faster. Both of those do seem to help. On hard metal, walking of the bit can be a problem, even with a punched starting location. So far I haven’t had a walking problem with these bits. Just remember when drilling hard metals like stainless steel: drill slowly (around 400 rpm), apply pressure, keep drill vertical, and use cutting fluid. This has worked well for me with the Red Helix bits. See photo drilling stainless. I can’t vouch of how long they will last though, as I haven’t yet used a single drill bit many times. But they certainly seem to stay sharper than other drill bits.
