SHOCKWAVE Impact-Duty Titanium Drill Bit Set (15-Piece)

Milwaukee usually has a good reputation but these bits are just terrible. I bought these in late December and I broke 5 bits already, 7/32, 9/64, 3/16, 1/4, and 3/8 in January first time using them. Setting is on a 1 on my impact driver and I was a wood block to stabilize. I was drilling soft aluminum and the tips just snap.

I haven't drilled any holes yet - just got this for Christmas! The first thing that stood out to me was that the box is at least twice as big as it needs to be! I also noticed that it has no holes drilled into it so you can see what size bit that you need - my 40 year old one has this feature. I am, however, looking forward to drilling holes without having the bit slip in the chuck on my drill.

Very hard to pull drill bits from their holders. I had to pry the bits out with a screwdriver.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the Milwaukee Tool - Kit 15 PC TiN SHOCKWAVE™ to replace my old, broken set. I like to fix stuff around the house, build small things and this Drill Bit Set is perfect for my every day use. I can use it in wood, metal and PVC . I can use it in small jobs and big ones. the variety of sizes makes it versaible. they are easy to connect and the bits are sharp to make a hole fast. Like the carryng case. I recommend this set !

Thick ones work fine for me. But two thinner ones broke during the first use. Claiming warranty is also a hassle, driving 40 minutes for two drill bits is definitely too much for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Milwaukee 15 piece Titanium drill bit set is a great set. The bits go through wood like its butter. I will get great use from these bits, it even come in a nice little case. I would highly recommend them to my friends.

I have no idea why these are rated so highly. These are impossible to remove from their respective holders in the red plastic case. You need to use a needle nose plier and pray you don't cut yourself trying to remove each bit. The bits, especially the thinner ones, are way too short. You can't even get thru a 2x4. Over a year, half of these bits have broken on me. Cheaply made, terrible case.

The Milwaukee Shockwave impact drill bit set has the same quality that people have come to expect from Milwaukee, but overall there were several things that I personally think could be improved. Let’s start with a PRO. There is no doubt that these drill bits are built to last. Just getting them out of the packaging, I could immediately feel a difference in the weight. These bits weigh slightly more than one of their competitors bits. However, the weight gave me the impression that these were going to be durable and last a long time. Now for the CONs. When I unpackaged these bits, I compared them to a very popular competitor’s bits of the same size. You will see in the picture that the Milwaukee bit is so much shorter than the other bit. Another CON is that these bits do not come with any type of pouch or case to store them when they are not in use. When I drilled a couple of holes to compare the bits, nothing blew me away about the Milwaukee bit. Again, I cannot deny the incredible quality of the Milwaukee bits. What would make me not recommend these bits over the competitor’s bits is mainly the length. In addition to the length, not having any type of storage pouch or case is enough for me to pass on this Milwaukee product.

This new Milwaukee red helix 7 pieces titanium drill bit set is great for impact and drills. The tip is a quad edge that stays sharper longer. I have used this bit set on metal, wood, and pvc. It performed excellent and all of these materials mentioned before. The drillbit set comes with 2 (1/16"), 1 (1/8"), 1 (3/16"), 1 (1/4"), 1 (//16") and 1 (3/8"). Highly recommend this drill bit set.

When I saw these split point drill bits with hex shafts from a respected tool company I thought they would be worth giving a try. I am glad I did. The first thing I tested was if they ran true. They do; something cheaper bits many times do not. I tested them by drilling holes in 1/2" mild steel round stock using oil as lubricant. I used as close to optimum rpm as my drill press allowed and all worked well even without starting dimples including 1 /16" which has a standard point which started fine even off center on the steel rod. In short, I'm very happy with how these bits perform.
