3/8 in. x 12 in. SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Carbide Multi-Material Drill Bit

It chipped immediately on the first use and I was surprised but it kept working great on plastic and wood and natural stone but do not recommend for metal

I used the 3/8" diameter Shockwave Multi-Material Drill Bit today. We purchased Terracotta Clay Pots. My wife said we need to have more drainage holes besides the large one in the center of the pot. The drill bit claims it is for Multi-Material, so I thought this bit may be ideal. I chucked it up in my Ryobi drill and gave it a try. Immediately it started to dig right in and do the job. The pot is approximately 3/16" thick, and it went through easily in all 8 holes.

These are fantastic, they will drill through many materials. I have drilled through concrete, pvc, aluminum, amd probably some more matetials just trying this bit out. It really is pretty amazing but I knew it would be. The Shockwave tools are fantastic, I have many individual sets of them and use them often at home and at work. I recommend this if you have a need for drilling block or concrete and may need to go through other materials.

I love this drill bit. I use it for going through cinder block like nothing. It works great in both my hammer drill and regular cordless drill. I have used it through at least a dozen holes into cinder block and it seems just as sharp as the first time i used it. One nice thing is that it will reach through the cinder block without starting from the opposite side.

I needed to run a 10/3 wire through blocks filled with concrete as part of the high rise building construction and I used this drill to drill through the 9 inch concrete wall. It worked well with the hammer drill and I was able to slip the wire through after I drilled through to the other side. The carbide tip made the job easier compared to other bits that I have used.

Works great when used with Impact Drill! Hex shank with 'neck' is designed to fit into impact drill/drivers with one-handed bit release (see photos), but also fits securely in conventional chucks. Made short work of drilling holes through limestone rocks, concrete, cement blocks, bricks, etc. White coating down in the flutes is fairly easy to keep clean with a nylon brush (to avoid abrading it) and could be a factor in resisting rust, which will serve to provide better removal of fines while drilling. The sharp angular point serves to speed drilling through various materials (see photo).

Nicly packaged and looks like it will cut like butter. Struggled on metal carport to even make a dent to add a hook. Did ok on concrete, but want to start off with short bit before going to this long bit. The bit had some bend to it that makes it feel like it will break. Did not care for the drilling at all on any of the material it shows on the packaging.

If you're looking for a drill bit that doesn't flinch when things get tough - whether it's block, brick, or bone-rattling concrete - the Milwaukee M/2 2-Cutter SDS-Plus is a workhorse that earns its stripes every time you pull the trigger. It’s the kind of bit that doesn’t just perform - it endures. First and foremost, the speed. Milwaukee claims up to 30% faster drilling with its Breaker Point design, and in real-world application it absolutely lives up to that claim. You feel it the moment the bit bites - less resistance, more momentum. The Breaker Point does exactly what it's designed to do: pulverize material fast and efficiently. The result? Faster holes, cleaner progress, and less heat on your tool. Where this bit really separates itself from the pack, though, is in cordless performance. The variable flute geometry is no gimmick. It actively clears debris faster, and that translates to up to 20% more holes per battery charge. If you’ve been burned by sub-par bits that stall halfway through a job or suck your battery dry, this one’s a breath of fresh air. You spend less time changing batteries and more time getting the job done. Durability? Absolutely nailed it. The rebar guards and reinforced flutes do more than market well - they actually work. I tested this bit against high-density aggregate, and it didn’t even blink. Lesser bits either chip, catch, or snap. Not here. The M/2 eats through it all and keeps its edge. And with minimized vibration, it doesn’t just last longer - it’s easier on the user too. The centering tip deserves mention as well. For precision work, especially when you only get one shot at accuracy - anchor bolts, conduit paths, fixtures - this bit hits the mark. Literally. No walking, no drifting, just precise spot drilling, every time. Another touch I respect: the wear mark indicator. It’s a subtle but significant feature, letting you know when your bit drops below ANSI standards. No more guessing if your anchors will hold. It takes the uncertainty out of the equation, especially for high-spec installs where tolerances matter. Bottom line: the Milwaukee M/2 2-Cutter isn’t just another bit in the box - it’s the bit you want to reach for. Every feature has purpose. Every improvement delivers. Whether you’re running cordless or corded, light-duty or commercial-grade, this bit shows up ready to work. It’s efficient, durable, and engineered with the end-user in mind. If you rely on your tools to perform, not just once but job after job, Milwaukee’s got you covered. This isn’t innovation for marketing’s sake - it’s innovation that makes your work faster, cleaner, and more reliable. And that’s exactly what a drill bit should do.

I recently used the Milwaukee 3/8” drill bit, and it performed exceptionally well. I drilled four precise 3/8” holes, each about 6” deep, with ease. The bit was impressively sharp, allowing me to complete the task quickly despite using a relatively low-powered, battery-operated drill. The combination of efficiency and durability made my project much smoother than anticipated. What stood out to me most was how reliably the drill bit handled the job without any signs of wear or dulling, even after repeated use. It's clear that Milwaukee prioritizes quality in their products, and this drill bit is no exception. If you're looking for a dependable, high-performance tool for drilling, I’d highly recommend this one. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase Milwaukee drill bits again.
