Customer Reviews for Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE IMPACT DUTY Titanium Drill Bit Set (46-Piece)

These bits work fine overall and it’s nice that I can quickly change between them in my impact or drill; however, the smaller bits are too short. With any standard 1/8”drill bit I can usually get through a 2x4. I can even do it with a 7/64” bit if I keep it light in the chuck. So that’s a flaw in my opinion. I’m glad they give you two of each for sizes 5/32” and below, but getting bits in and out of the case isn’t particularly easy.

I have not even used the drill bits yet, but already hate the case. The set I ordered on Sep 21, 2023. The case is not a continuous hinge like is shown in the picture. It has 2 separate hinges with a finger sized gap in the middle. If you hold the case like I did you will hate it as soon as you close the case. As far as the drill bits go, I plan of saving these for light duty (no metal) so I don't break any.

3/8 cobalt drill bit snapped on aluminum The first time using them I would not trust them on anything important

Tried to drill a 5/16 inch hole through 1 in. Square aluminum tubing. The bit broke in half. CHEAP!

I paid top dollar for these 40!It did help to bite faster an prevent some walking. The double tip isn’t present on the smaller bits so they aren’t designed with the same technology so that’s no good. I was drilling some angle iron an running it hard had them literally explode in my face it was the two big bits be careful

They don't work at all,they broke easily,don't make a hole on weak material ,I had use the cheapest step drill bit from harbor freight or even a drilling screw did the hole but not this cobalt set ,also they bend, this drill bits they are terrible quality.

Trying to drill pilot holes thru stainless steel metal I broke several bits (1/16" (2), 5/64" (2), 3/32" and 7/64" (2)). Also burnt out the tip of the 1/4" drill bit drill on regular metal.

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

Easy to use with quick connect 6" extension which I bought separately. The drill bit set had a space specifically fitting the extension so the bits and extension are together. That's great.

I have always believed that Milwaukee tools were high quality. I have both their 12V Cordless Impact Driver and Drill. Also have a couple of their lights. I purchased their Shockwave drill bits and impact driver sets to use with the impact driver and drill. I had my first opportunity to use these drill bits yesterday; had to drill holes on our stainless steel baking rings. The drill bits could not even make it through 3 holes. I dug out my old Black & Decker drill bits to finish the job. Now I'm stuck with expensive and useless bits. Not recommended.

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.

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

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.

Used one of these bits to drill over 120 holes in mild steel. Used lots of oil and a drill press. The set is a good deal over buying bits separately and they double up on common sizes.

long live

I’ve had these bits for a couple weeks now and they have worked as expected on multiple types of metal. The case is very nice and functional. These bits are great at not walking when first starting and they get a good bite into metal. I haven’t had any break so far and they seem sharp still. These meet my expectations and I don’t have anything to dislike about them. Please hit thumbs up if this was helpful.

I have not used them very much yet, but the convenience of using them in my 1/4 inch impact driver is great. I can leave the drill in the case!

I was drilling a hole in a pole to make a tether ball pole for my son. The drill bit broke before I could completely drill the first hole. I'm taking the whole set back for an exchange. Maybe I'll have better luck with the next set.

Had one of these break drilling a pilot hole into plaster, and another one broke just going into a piece of maple. If Milwaukee tools are really this bad that’s a shame, but i suspect that Home Depot is selling an inferior version.

Great for drilling 1/4" steel plate and installing hinges on gates

Good tools. Works well.

These drill bits drill nice, but when installing hardwood floor for the starter strips I drilled pilot holes for standard finish nails. I snapped 3 bits by drilling through the hardwood and accidentally hitting nails in the subfloor. After the first drill bit snapped I was very gentle about drilling subsequent holes. But unfortunately as careful as I was, I still snapped 2 additional bits. I’m going to see if Home Depot can return these for me. $45 is too much for my wallet on a product that breaks this easily.

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.

This was my first and last purchase of Milwaukee drill bits. I used these on our house interior walls. The walls have a textured paint over drywall. This proved too much for these bits. Several of the bits dulled to the point they're now worthless. I barely got the curtains hung and TV's mounted before having to pull out a twenty year old set of Black and Decker bits to put knobs on the kitchen cabinets. I hope I just got a bad batch, but who knows.

This drill bit set features 15 different size bits and a total of 23 pcs. These bits are very strong and have not yet broken unlike many of my other bit sets. These bits are all neatly organized in a compact and durable case. Each bit is clearly labeled in the case. The product is all around great for any job and set at a very affordable price.

Great set of bits with the right duplicates at a good price. I needed the sizes they provided and wanted them with the hex quick connect.

Used these to drill through and remove two wheel lugs that had rounded off and could not be removed any other means. Drilling through this material required slow drill speeds to avoid overheating. No cutting oil was required.The attached pics show the fantastic job done by the bits in cutting through the lugs and allowing them to be easily removed by snapping the tops off.

I brought the Milwaukee SHOCK WAVE IMPACT DUTY Titanium Drill Bit Set (23-Piece) to complete an electric box relocation project. I replace a hard wired electric Range Hood with a Microwave/Range Hood which needed an electric receptacle to plug into to place over a new Electric Range we recently brought. The drill bits worked excellent and made easy work for the relocation and the wiring of the electric box.. I recommend this product.
