          Answer This Question

          For drilling stainless steel, cobalt drill bits are generally recommended. They are more resistant to heat and wear than standard high-speed steel (HSS) bits. Look for bits specifically designed for stainless steel or hard metals. Using cutting oil can also help extend the life of your drill bit and improve the quality of the hole.

            Never tried that - if they can create a hole big enough you can possibly put a screw in that hole and undo it that way ?   Good quality bits - I use them a lot

                This bit will certainly do the job. I used them to drill through stainless steel and they perform great. FYI make sure you keep them cool if you use them like I did. I sprayed them with water before and after the hole was done and had no issues.

                  Start with a 1/8" or smaller bit. Wotk your way up in sizes til you get to the size you need.

                        Broke our drill
                        We bought this earlier this week to go with our Milwaukee drill. After just one use, the bit got stuck inside the drill and will not come out no matter what we do. Not only did it not work for our project, but it has ruined our new drill as well.

                          Great for multiple applications
                          I use on a daily basis any combination of these bits for anything from wood to hard metal. I’ve noticed these will fill after a few metal jobs. But as far as using for wood they are amazing even if the top has filled from hard metal usage. I don’t know if that’s carry any kind of replacement warranty if dulled but really would like to find out. I am a heavy Milwaukee user and regular Milwaukee enthusiast as well as unofficial brand embassador. I eat sleep and breathe Milwaukee tools and I share my thoughts and enthusiasm with others.

                            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.

                            I really tried to like these drill bits ....
                            Bought these bits because of the Milwaukee name, but have truly been disappointed. First off it is so hard to pull the bits from the case. I've cut myself pulling bits from the case before. At first I thought these bits were pretty good, but I was drilling into soft materials. When trying to drill into harder materials, its like pushing the bit through instead of actually drilling. I would not buy these again ... period.

                              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.

                              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.
