Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 1-1/8 in. x 18 in. 4-Cutter SDS-PLUS Carbide Drill Bit

I Drilled 2 holes and never made it through the second one. I was only drilling brick and didn’t even hit rebar. Definitely not up to the standards of quality I’ve come to expect from a Milwaukee product.

Bought two of these in case one fails. Good that I did buy two. My concrete has 6x6 steel wire mesh in it. My second hole I must have hit a rebar wire and it destroyed the bit. I have used the second bit to drill 8 more holes without issue.

First 2 mx4 5/32 drill bits destroyed in minutes working in concrete with rebar. At least in this size arent durable. The 3rd mx 5/32 last longer to finish the job

Drilled 42 holes 10” deep in hard gneiss with little wear.

Installing my MaxJax in new concrete with Wej-it (toggler.com) Epoxy anchors, I drill 1 hole and discover the fitment is loose. I then measure the bit and find 2 tips measure 7/8", but the other 2 measure 29/32" (see pictures) As I was on a time crunch, I ground-down the 2 tips that were way out of spec and finished the job, albeit slowly. So, the bit CAN do the job, and I might have gotten a manufacturing defect unit, but it's a crappy thing to discover when you "have to get the job done now"

I bought this to drill holes in 6x6 landscaping timbers. I anchored the bottom timber into the ground with 1/2" by 2 ft rebar

Drilled 10 holes with ease.

Bit snapped after 1st usage. It would not drill in the concrete. HD did not have this size in different brand so I went to another store and purchased a Dewalt bit and it drilled the 16 holes within minutes. It might have been a fluke but after breaking this bit, losing $ 16.97 and a few hours of my time I would not recommend the Milwaukee drill bit.

This is the biggest SDS Plus bit they sell in store and it is a beast. I had to drill a hole through 4” concrete and this bit ate through the concrete within 20 seconds

Purchased this to drill a 6” diameter sewer drain hole through a 6” thick foundation stem wall and it only took about 45 minutes !! Worked perfectly for the job it needed to accomplish

This bit ate right through my 10-day old concrete footings without breaking a sweat. Drilled 9 holes @ 5/8” diameter about 5.5” deep and each hole took maybe 10 seconds. Didn’t encounter rebar so I can’t speak to how well the bit cuts thru steel, but for concrete, it was great. I don’t have the need for drilling 5/8” holes in concrete often, but you can’t go wrong with this bit.

Very good bits got the job done

Drills best clockwise

Great bit! Drilled through brick very easy and nice cut

It drills perfectly round holes to any depth less than the exposed shank length of the drill bit.

Loved the hammer drill. Hard working tool to have.
