Milwaukee New SHOCKWAVE Drill Bits 2024
Milwaukee New SHOCKWAVE Drill Bits 2024 Released at World of Concrete
The ToolBoxBuzz Crew has been given early access to the new releases from Milwaukee for the World of Concrete 2024 expo. We wanted to highlight Milwaukee’s newest drill bits – the extended length 12 in. SHOCKWAVE & 18in. Bellhanger Drill Bits. Both of these bit series will be debuting this week in Las Vegas. Milwaukee continues to expand both their MX & M18 FUEL line ups and is offering these PRO ready SHOCKWAVE and Bellhanger bits to pair with them.
12 in. Extended Length Multi-Material Drill Bits
Okay, you may be asking what’s the big deal about drill bits? Well, Milwaukee’s SHOCKWAVE bits feature a solid carbide tip with an edge designed to be used on a wide range of materials. These bits are tough and not prone to breaking in rugged materials like steel or concrete. And because they actually work well for a bunch of tasks as well as in standard chuck drills and 1/4 in. impact drivers alike, they save time from unnecessary bit swap outs.
The 12 in. extended length is optimized for through hole drilling applications. Of note, the multi-material design works great for stacked materials. So if you have a steel plate on a sole plate with a poured concrete floor… a single bit will handle them all with ease. They will be available February 2024 in 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 in. diameters.
18 in. Extended Length Bellhanger Drill Bits
If you’ve ever tried drilling small diameters holes in studs and headers to run small diameter wires then you know what a pain it can be. Especially when trying to fit a fish tape through them after drilling in finish work. Bellhanger bit are long bits with a small hole slightly inset from the tip of the bit. The hole lets you attach and fish a wire through the fresh hole(s) as you pull the bit back out.
These bits feature aggressive tip geometry for faster cutting and non-stick, coated flutes for fast chip removal and reduced binding. Specifically, Milwaukee is launching 4 new Bellhanger drill bit options in an 18 in overall length. They include diameters of 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, and 1/2 in. and will be available February 2024.
