Customer Reviews for Milwaukee 3/16 in. SHOCKWAVE Carbide Hammer Drill Bits (5-Pack)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill bit is longer than my other bits of the same width (1/4") It's great it's longer. I think maybe they are skinnier for concrete because concrete will kinda dust as you drill while wood doesn't. It fits in easy and well into my drill which is a Milwaukee quick release type, so that's all that matters, since I eyeball the drill bit needed for any given scenario anyway.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drill bit works great. I make tumblers and this drill bit came in handy to drill my holes so I can string lights on it! It made a smooth hole! I have nothing bad to say about this product! Will be getting other sizes!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the look of it and the red is a nice fit with the Milwaukee brand. The bit fits nice into the chuck. There was no wabble when driving. It holds up well when driving into wood. Overall great bit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a drill. But this drill bit is something that must be in all tool boxes great for drilling holes in concrete especially cinder blocks and bricks. It works amazing easy to use and I look forward to purchasing more from Milwaukee tool brand.

This is my review of the Milwaukee 1/4 inch shockwave carbide hammer drill bits 48-20-9162 designed for use in impact and hammer drills. I just had the opportunity to try these bits while replacing some drain lines that had to be secured to concrete columns. I used the bits in a cordless hammer drill and they did the job. Drilling was fast and effortless, The bits did not walk when starting a hole. After installing over 25 straps (50) holes I was still using the same bit. I would recommend these. If I need other size bits for concrete I will buy this brand.

Milwaukee carbide drill bits last and cut through the toughest materials. Concrete, block or brick will not stand in your way. You will drill quickly through it and install what you need in a breeze. The drill bit was tough to bend or break. The hexagon end gives the bit positive contact with your drill. This Milwaukee drill bit comes in a five pack.

Designed for impact or hammer drills, these drill bits are engineered to drill through concrete, block or brick. You will get 5x the life from these bits and their design makes them twice a fast as other bits (cuts your drill time in half). They are not recommended to be used in an impact driver for concrete. An impact driver can be used if you are drill brick or block. Great for high speed in a hammer drill for concrete, brick or block. These bits are 1/4" by 4" by 6" and come 5 to a pack.

its an average drill bit the only issue I found is that the point wears out quickly and needs to be change frequently

As you will see from the pictures, I used it on the outside of my garage which appears to be made up of cement blocks. I put up lattice on one side of my garage. Got tired of looking at cement. I had no problem with the drill bit. I used a battery operated drill. The Carbide Hammer drill bits worked very well. I only needed to use just one of the 5 bits. I recommend.

You can’t go wrong with a Milwaukee product. These bits are hex head bits that can be mounted in any chuck that that uses that head and even has a locking kerf. They are well made and fluted for quick material removal. They are carbide tipped for durability. It is a fast cutting bit. It is rated to drill several different hard materials. This model carbide hammer drill bit (48-20-9162) is six inches long.

I really like these Milwaukee 5/32" hammer drill bits. They are made from hard steel. Nice and long. In this series the hexagonal shanks are all the same size. They shaft locks into the chuck really well. No slipping. Sometimes bits this small are a bit fragile and will break pretty easily. I saw no evidence that this one would have that issue. It zipped right through a hard fired brick with just normal pressure. I will buy Shockwave when and if I wear these out.

Very strong and sharp concrete drill bit. They are designed for Impact and Hammer Drills. I like that the interiors are red so I'll be able to judge how much I've used a particular bit. I won't be doing a lot of concrete drilling so these will last the rest of my life. Shipping from Milwaukee took a couple of weeks, so order them early during pandemic.

These 3/16" Milwaukee Hammer Drill bits are great. I really like that the shanks are hexagonal. They locked very nicely into my 3 jaw chuck. I didn't need to murder the chuck key to get it tight enough to not spin. I had some very hard fired bricks to try them on. This little bit zipped right into the brick with no issues. The bits are long enough to go totally through a brick like this. I experienced zero flex on the shaft while drilling. These smaller bits are sometimes a little fragile when side torque is applied. Not this one. It was great. I have a new favorite hammer drill bit.

Milwaukee has really improved on the state of the art for hammer drill bits. In the old days the shafts were round and the heads of the bits weren't all that hard. These things are awesome. They made the shaft/shank hexagonal so my 3 jaw drill chuck locks right into it with zero chance of spinning. So now you don't have to kill the chuck key (or your hand if it's keyless) to get it tight enough to not spin. All the shafts of this series are the same size so moving from one size bit to another is a piece of cake. The bits are really pretty long and should cover most normal drilling. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these.

These milwaukee carbide drill bits are strong and hold their sharpness. Quality made and not thin cheap steel. I drilled 10 holes in concrete and the last hole drilled just as fast as the first one. The bottom of the bit is not round but hex shaped giving you positive grip in your drill head. No more rounding and slipping. Definitely will be continuing to but milwaukee carbide bits.

This 5 pack of carbide tipped hammer drill bits is intended for concrete, cinder block, or brick. My previous drill bits intended for this made by another company struggled to get through brick. I attached one to my hammer drill and gave it a try. I’m not sure the hammer function engaged except for brief spurts, as the bit made it’s way easily through the brick. I can’t speak to longevity, as I only just got these. However, they seem to be well made, and well packaged. They are made in China.

Impressive would be an understatement. I usually use titanium concrete drill bits with limited success. After trying the Milwaukee 3/16” concrete drill bit, it is a game changer. I always say the appropriate tool for the job at hand. If you want to drill through concrete quickly and effortlessly, most definitely give this drill bit a try. It’s amazing how a quality bit can change efficiency.

Each bit lasted for 3 holes in brick.

We excellent in drilling into brick. Easy to hold. I've had it about two weeks.

Best masonry drill bits I have used yet. They do the job quickly and stand up to use. Definitely worth it to get the 5-pack.
