Questions and Answers for undefined

A:  It has been over 5 years that I have had this set of Milwaukee bits. There is no reference to country of origin or manufacture ... they have lasted well ... I broke my first bit only last month ... and none have separated the bit part from the easy quarter inch ends. Where ever they are made, they are way better than the average bit.

A:  Yes, I bought them last week. Have always bought tools here at home depot Great price for well made tools

A:  On the left side of the package, I believe it says they are made in China. The picture is one I pulled off of Home Depots website where a reviewer had posted a picture. sorry for the clarity but it is the best I could do..

A:  Package isn't label were they were made

A:  SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Hex bits SAE Bit: 1/16", 5/56", 1/8", 7/64", 1/8", 9/64", 5/32", 3/16", 1/4"

A:  No

A:  Instead of the bit going directly into the drill an possibly stripping it goes into a separate piece and protects it from wearing out over time.

A:  The Milwaukee Wear Guard technology protects the tips of the bits so they last longer than standard bits.

A:  Marketing mumbo-jumbo. Just like 50x life lol.

A:  I've used these several times to pre drill on fiberglass shower and tub panels....no issues with any significant wear and tear.

A:  NO

A:  Hi Gabe! Our SHOCKWAVE IMPACT DUTY Titanium Drill Bit Set (48-89-4630) is intended for wood, PVC and metal applications.

A:  burn out quickly on metal.

A:  Hello Gabe - Short answer: it depends. Here’s what it depends on: 1) what kind of fiberglass? is it glass fiber reinforced polyester (FRP)? And about how much glass is in the blend? 20%, 40% or is it mostly glass fiber with minimal binder? 2) what drilling conditions do you intend to use? A hand guided drill motor going as fast as it can? Or a variable speed drill press where you can tune the drill speed a little better? 3) can you use a coolant to help keep the drill’s edge cool? Consider water or specially prepared drilling compounds? Generally glass fibers are harder than tool steel ( sorry ) and they’ll act like sandpaper on the sharp edges as you cut with them. These however have been thinly coated with a golden coating called TIN (titanium nitride) which makes the surface of the drill about as hard as the glass fibers. If you can apply enough coolant to the drill, and drill slowly 500 Rpm or so, while drilling through your work ; they’ll work for perhaps 6 - 10 holes and then they’re done. If you have a lot of holes to drill - I’d recommend you get something else: specialty carbide tipped drills; and even then it’s iffy. Good luck. Grumpy Joe

A:  The bit holder little tight get a little effort pulled out is okay

A:  I agree the bits are secured tightly in the racks. The racks do tilt down which allows more room to grip the bits but they are tight when new. In time they will loosen up.

A:  It should slide. Possibly it is stuck I would Grip with a pliers and tap it loosen it up.

A:  It's a pain that I experienced, too, extracting these bits! Sometimes you have to extract their nearest-neighbors first, to help get a finger grip on the one you want! But the BEST technique I've found is to keep one of the flat-head screw bits (preferably the longer one) somewhat loose/free in the box -- and then simply wedge the bits free from the bottom. It's fairly consistent to get them out quickly that way. As a footnote, it's funny you asked, timing-wise -- as last night I bought a new Dewalt bit set (also from HomeDepot) (I needed more phillips and flat-head bits, which I always seem to lose) -- and although the new Dewalt set LOOKS extremely similar in BIT-HOLDING technology -- it is actually different! The act of flipping a bit upwards (ie. towards a standing position, actually RELIEVES most of the HOLDING tension! AWESOME DESIGN by DEWALT! Kudos! I immediately thought of my Milwaukee set!)

A:  For the first few times you will have to use a pliers until it's broke in it is a bit of a hassle but it will work eventually.

A:  What you se is what you get!!

A:  Okay just what I always wanted it makes my job easier now

A:  I bought a set at my local Home Depot. 15 bits are included in this set.

A:  15

A:  15 pieces; Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE IMPACT DUTY Titanium Drill Bit Set (15-Piece)

A:  I am sorry but all of mine are SAE you would be better to contact the manufacturer

A:  1/16" = 1.5875mm 5/64" = 1.98438mm 3/32" = 2.38125mm 7/64" = 2.77812mm 1/8" = 3.175mm 9/64" = 3.57187mm 5/32" = 3.96875mm 3/16" = 4.7625mm 7/32 = 5.55625mm 1/4" = 6.35mm 5/16 = 7.9375mm 3/8" = 9.525mm 1/2" = 12.7mm

A:  Good question, not sure why it is important but good question. you can go on line and print out a drill bit sizing chart, this chart will give you all drill bit conversions for sizing and tapping

A:  They're not metric, but come in very fine increments of English fraction

A:  I dont know they are only label with SAE

A:  The holder is magnetic the bits are not

A:  No they are not

A:  What I like to do to prevent that from happening is to buy it online for pickup at my store. That way if the inventory is wrong you will get a text and or email telling you that and saving you a trip.

A:  no, they are for wood.

A:  Yes they can.

A:  Yes they can, but as you may already know, iron is something hard to work with. You may need to begin with a pilot hole and work your way up to the size you need. You may find benefit using a drop of oil at the end of the bit while drilling.

A:  I have used them to drill into angle iron so I would say yes. I also find a step but is good for steel

A:  Yes
