SPEED FEED Auger Wood Drilling Bit Set (4-Piece)

I came here just to inform people that the bits of Milwaukee especially the Robertson(s2) was THE WORST bits I ever had in my 30 years in carpentry. Actually all of my tools are Milwaukee but this bits, if theres a 0 star, I will put it on zero. All of my Milwaukee S2's (approx 40 pcs) were almost all circular shape now, Im very very disappointed on this knowing the company who made was top in terms of power tools. Those unbranded were much better rather than this Milwaukee bits. Whoever made this or test this, you need to step down or quit in your job as you dont know what you doing.

Bits are decent / packaging is a nightmare - The bits are decent for around home use, but I have nothing good to say about how the packaging is done and how easily you can get cut pulling these out of the holder

Besides being self driving with the snail, the purpose of good auger bits is to achieve nice, clean holes. That’s what the cutters on the outside are supposed to do. Otherwise, if you were just looking for speed, you would be better off using spade bits. Very disappointed to find that not only are these bits not sharp at all, but they make terribly messy holes. The cutters just catch wood and rip huge gouges around the hole opening - again, something I would have expected from spade bits. Overall, very disappointed.

Milwaukee....Speed Feed Auger Wood Drilling Bits. Set includes 1 ea. 1/2 in 5/8in 3/4 in and 1 in self feeding wood bits I bought these bits for a pergola project I have coming up I wish the set came with a 7/8 in bit but 1 in will work just fine the 1/4 in shank is so helpful when using it with my impact driver. I like the double wing spurs and the tapered design the dual cutting edges really do speed up the drilling process I prefer these speed auger bits over flat boring bits anytime I'm not sure what the flutes are coated with but nothing but dust sticks to them I love these bits. They more than met my expectations and I highly recommend these speed auger bits.

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.

Do they drill good and stay sharp? Only some of them, and thats with the use of lube. The case that they come in is a pain to get the bits out of without cutting your fingers on the bits on the back row while getting a bit out of the front row. The shockwave technology doesnt work. I have 5 of them that twisted the shank and broke. Save your money. I do have a few miscellaneous Milwaukee cobalt bits and they seem worth it. Disapointed in the quality and thats coming from a guy that has a lot of Milwaukee tools.

Unfortunately, two of the drill bits (3/32, and 7/64) broke while simply drilling pilot holes in 2x4s. Very disappointing.

First of all, they come in a sturdy, well made case. The drill bit comes with an hexagonal shape to perfectly fit the drill chuck so you don’t have to deal with it slipping. Besides that, the hexagonal shape will fit in a variety of different snap-on chucks. Another pro, because of the way the tip is made it won’t slip on the surface of what you’re drilling. So far, even tho they’re made in china, I can promise you they got the same quality feel of the old Milwaukee sets.

I have been using this kit for only two months now and this is the best drill bit set I have ever owned! The 135 degree points keep the bits from walking when trying to start a hole,. The hex shank holds tight in my Milwaukee impact driver/drill and the rugged plastic case keeps the bits organized and clean. I would definitely recommend this kit!

I'm a big fan of the Milwaukee Shockwave concept since it makes changing drills a breeze since each one has the same sized 1/4" hex shank which also improves the grip in the chuck and limits the bit slipping during use. The hex shank also acts as a shock absorber, managing the initial torque as the drill starts to cut, prolonging the life of the drills and minimizing breakage. There were some features I really liked about these new drills: 1) The larger sized drills have a 'Chip breaker' groove cut in the tip which is intended to allow the drill to run slightly cooler, prolonging the life of the drill by getting the cut metal shards out of the way more effectively rather than having them grind around at the tip as the drill continues to cut the hole. 2) The flutes on the drills are designed to carry the swarf away from the cutting area more quickly with what Milwaukee calls 'variable helix'. You see this most if your cutting something soft like aluminum or plastic where the ribbons of swarf quickly ride up the drill flutes away from the hole. 3) the 135 degree angle of the drill tip prevents the drill from wandering around the metal if you haven't used a hole punch to mark where you want to start to drill. The drills come in a handy hard plastic storage case which means you can keep them organized as opposed to floating around in a tool chest drawer (as is the case with most of my other drill bits). Each drill size is clearly marked on the holder in the case however in a small oversight, when the drills are rotated upwards for removal, the sizes marked on the case are no longer readable however the drill size is also etched on the hex shank as a backup. The drill bits can be quite snug in their holders too, so it pays to use gloves to pull the stubborn ones out to avoid cutting your fingers on the sharp flutes. There is a very good variety of sizes included in this set which lends itself as well to drilling in metal, wood, plastic etc. The greater variet of 'no standard' sizes is very useful for drilling specific sized holes needed for screw thread taps. I have owned this set for a few months now and have used it frequently and haven't yet noticed any dulling in the cutting ability of the drill bits I've used, so they certainly do appear to be a lot longer lasting than the more conventional carbon drill bits as Milwaukee claims. For example I drill around 70 rivet heads out and the drill I was using was as quick on the 70th one as it was on the first. The sizes included in this set are: 1/16", 5/64", 3/32", 7/64", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 11/64", 3/16", 13/64", 7/32", 15/64", 1/4", 17/64", 9/32", 19/64", 5/16", 21/64", 11/32", 23/64", 3/8", 25/64", 13/32", 27/64", 7/16", 29/64", 15/32", 31/64", 1/2.
