Customer Reviews for Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Alloy Steel Screw Driver Drill Bit Set (40-Piece)

Used this bit once and the Phillips bit is already damaged. Seems like it is NOT impact duty. Maybe try something else. See pics.

Bought to go with my Milwaukee impact driver. The 3/8” socket adapter, while it is a quater inch hex, is NOT impact ready and will not lock into an impact. The straight shaft was made for a drill and will slide right out of an impact. The kit is great otherwise, but why not make the “Impact Duty” socket adapter and nut drivers impact ready? Dissapointed in these pieces. The socket adapter is one of my most used bits.

Set comes with a nice hard case that is stack able with other Milwaukee cases. Latch on the case works well and doesn't appear to be cheaply made. The bits themselves are high quality and I haven't had any cam outs, but have been mainly using Torx heads. After driving around 100 screws so far, don't notice much if any wear on the tips.

It worlked

Has far too many duplicates. Don’t even understand why they put in so many duplicates. It doesn’t even save them money. The bits do seem to be decently made I guess but I just can’t get over how many duplicates there are. In the photos the numbers on the bottom show that they are duplicates.

I use it every day I never know what kind of bit tip I'm going to need and this has me covered in all angles even the hexs I run across rarely but I utilize every single bit in this case. Highly recommend and highly satisfied with product!

Case snap come out after one week of use. No contact from Milwaukee after I asked them for a way to help. Case is now not user friendly tools are ok inside of it.

this product covers just about everything I need to get the job done

assembled a large swing/play set over the weekend. Bought this to help with assemble. All the screws were #2 square head and the kit contained enough bits for the two of us to work independently. The real prize was the connector that enabled us to use my impact drill with 9/16" and 1/2" sockets to tighten the carriage bolts and lag screws of which there were MANY without this we would still be tightening bolts and screws by hand with a socket set. The bits are SOLID and locked securely into the screw heads. There are also torx screw bits. Definitely worth the money. Saved us so much time. Milwaukee sells excellent products and their customer service is outstanding. Had a problem last year with a rechargeable light and Milwaukee went way out of their way to make sure I was satisfied.

This has been a fantastic driver bit set and use it almost daily around the house and on projects for the last year. The set contains all the bits that I primarily use including Torx bits. The only thing missing are a few more sizes in the nut drivers, but I already have a separate set of those. Love the clam shell case which is durable and organizes the bits nice while being compact and stores nicely in my tool box. Be careful not to have your finger near the hinged opening when you close the case, I learned the hard way it can pinch your finger painfully:)

Having tried other brands, I wanted a set from Milwaukee due to their reputation as a good tool. I have not been disappointed. This set works great. I have used several of the bits with good results. The hex is the primary one I have used and it seems to be a very strong metal. There are several sizes available to fit many screw head sizes. I also like that the holder flips up to make it easy to select the correct bit.

Excellent value! Love Milwaukee tools.

I bought this set 9/18/17. Today while using one of the smaller star bits the very end broke off. I wasn’t putting any undue force or aggression on the bit. I was replacing some star screws into existing holes. I just emailed Milwaukie about the issue and I’m waiting to see if it’s covered. One other thing to note: the smaller bits can be difficult to removed from the shorter magnetic sleeve. I don’t think this is because the magnet is so strong, I think the bits rotate just slightly and get are difficult to remove. I actually had to use some pliers on a few the first couple times I tried changing them. Maybe I just need to get into the gym more. Overall it’s a good looking set and a good price I thought.

I LOVE THIS SET! It seems like I'm always on the move with my projects and I never know what kind of screw head I'm likely to encounter. This set gives me the portability I need to do that without having to load up just a ton of extra bits. The packaging for this is also really nice and compact. The drivers are good quality and the bits seem to hold up really well. I like that it has both long and short bits. It also fits into my impact driver really quickly and the bit change is super quick.

When I think of high quality impact bits Milwaukee ShockWave impacts bits are the first that come to mind! I already have one of these sets and decided to pick up this set because I like these bits so much and you can never have enough good impact bits. These bits have a very good precision machined tip so they do not slip out of or damage the fastener you are driving and they are very tough, I have worn some out but I have never had one break on me and I have a very high powered impact that I use them with and it will destroy regular bits in a flash but these ShockWave bits hold up to it no problem and it's always nice to be able to look in my case and not have empty spots from bits breaking! The case they come in is also great it is really high quality and tough and I like the way the bit racks are setup inside so that they turn 90 degrees and stand up making it very easy to get the bits out and the fact that you can move the bit rails into different spots in the case is great and you can even buy new rails of bits separately to add into the case so that you can expand the bit variety in the case and add to your bits. I highly recommend these bits, if your looking for some tough high quality bits to go with your impact gun these are the ticket!

This excellent brand lives up to its reputation. I have not had need to use every type of bit in this set, but I am glad to know that if I need one it will be there. I have used Milwaukee bits in a large project recently and they last as long or longer than any other brand that I have used. The case is useful too, having room for extra bits- I will populate the case with some of the bits that reside in my toolbox.

For the price this kit is hard to beat. It has all the popular styles in driver bits and also 2 common magnetic nut drivers. The storage case is a smart design that allows for easy removal of desired bit and then folds down and out of the way for closure. All Milwaukee tools and accessories in my collection have given me years of service and I suspect this heavy duty bit set will do the same.

Excellent impact driver drill bits - Superb! Another shining example of superior products from Milwaukee. These are designed to be used in an impact driver. The short bits must be used with the included magnetic extension bit holder - that is a good thing, not a bad thing. I must say that all of the Milwaukee magnetic bit extensions that I own are just perfect and I now use them exclusively. I do have one thing I absolutely do not like - it is difficult to remove the bits from the plastic holder - it hurts to do this with your fingers. Also, I have gotten two blood blisters by closing the case - it catches your hand at the back of the case. That said, this is a fantastic impact driver set! You will be so pleased with the durability and strength of these bits - AND THE GREAT MAGNETIC EXTENSION BIT HOLDER! Yeah! There ya go!

Tough Tools – in EVERY way! EVERYTHING about this Milwaukee Impact Driver bit set (Model 48-32-4022) is tough as nails. From the Shockwave bits to the nearly impenetrable clamshell packaging, this set is built to last. It's great as far as the bits: you get 39 bits/drivers in various useful sizes (see photo of the contents) and a short magnetic extension. Most bits are the 1” variety, but 8 of them are 2-1/4” long, and 2 of those are double ended, with #2 phillips head on one side and a slotted or Torx bit on the other. Personally I don't need a slotted bit and I wish the Torx bit were a size #20 instead of the larger #25, but that's just a my preference. They come in a “super” heavy duty plastic case that actually holds up to 48 bits. The case has Milwaukee's trade-mark 1/4” x 20 threaded insert in an outside corner which is useful for something, I'm sure. The six plastic bit holder “racks” inside the case can be relocated to different positions, and they all rotate to position the bits for easier removal. I say “easier” because it's impossible to remove them while the racks are rotated down for storage, but even in the correct position it's really hard to remove some bits from their tight-gripping “sockets”, especially the longer bits and nut drivers. I hope that gets much easier after some use. The case snaps shut and locks securely, and I know from experience that identical cases survive a fall from a 6-ft ladder onto a concrete floor without opening or cracking. This case and its contents will last and last, and the price is extremely reasonable for such tough tools. The are made in China, but the quality is undeniable.

Excellent selection of items included in kit

Nice set. I only needed the smaller set but it was cheaper to buy this one

I have really enjoyed using this set and they are just the right variety of bits for all of my projects and they don’t get damaged easily so they last a long time and get lots of use. I use them in my drill driver and my impact driver and they are still like new

Good stuff , I love it
