Milwaukee 48-89-4670 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 48-89-4670 drill bits work in an impact driver, or only a drill?
Both. The 15-piece SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty RED HELIX titanium set uses a 1/4 inch hex shank, so the bits lock straight into an impact driver's collet and also chuck into a standard drill driver. If your crew carries impact drivers instead of drills, this is the set built for it, unlike round-shank jobber bits that slip under impact torque.
2) Can I drill steel with the Milwaukee 48-89-4670 titanium bit set, or is it just for wood?
Metal, wood, and plastics are all covered. The titanium coating and QUAD EDGE tip are what make it hold up in metal, where an uncoated black oxide bit dulls fast. Milwaukee rates the titanium coating at 5X the life of black oxide bits.
3) Will the Milwaukee 48-89-4670 SHOCKWAVE titanium bits drill into concrete or masonry?
No. The 48-89-4670 SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX titanium set is built for metal, wood, and plastics, with a QUAD EDGE tip and variable helix flute for chip removal in those materials. For concrete or block, use a carbide-tipped percussion bit instead, such as the Minerallac 59736 Relton 1/2 inch by 6 inch carbide-tipped rotary/percussion drill bit, which is made to be run in hammer mode.
4) Does the Milwaukee 48-89-4670 drill bit set come with a case that fits PACKOUT?
Yes. The set ships in a customizable accessory case designed for use in the PACKOUT system, so it stacks with the rest of a PACKOUT stack rather than riding loose in the van. The bits are laser etched with their sizes, which matters when you are pulling one out of the case on a ladder.
5) What is RED HELIX and does it actually matter for drilling through metal studs and plate?
RED HELIX is Milwaukee's combination of three things on one bit: the QUAD EDGE tip, the VARIABLE HELIX flute, and a thicker tapered web. The variable helix flute clears chips faster, which is what keeps a bit from binding and snapping in steel, and the thicker tapered web adds strength at the shank end where bits usually break under impact.
6) What should an electrician use instead of the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE set for cutting tile or stone?
The Milwaukee 48-89-4670 is a titanium-coated twist bit set for metal, wood, and plastics on a 1/4 inch hex shank. Hard abrasive materials like tile and stone call for a diamond-grit bit instead, such as the Lenox 12111-10DGHS D/S-10Dg diamond grit drill bit in 5/8 inch, which cuts by abrasion rather than by a cutting edge.
7) Do I need a hammer drill for the Milwaukee 48-89-4670, or will my impact driver run it?
The 48-89-4670 bits use a 1/4 inch hex shank and are rated for impact drivers as well as drill drivers, so no hammer drill is needed. A rotary/percussion bit like the Minerallac 59736 Relton carbide-tipped bit is the type that expects a hammer-capable tool.
8) What is the part number to reorder the Milwaukee 15-piece SHOCKWAVE titanium drill bit set?
Order Milwaukee 48-89-4670. That is the manufacturer part number for the 15-piece SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty RED HELIX titanium drill bit set, and it is the number to quote if you are standardizing bit kits across multiple trucks or a facilities shop.
9) I only need one large-diameter hole, not a full set. What are my options besides the Milwaukee 15-piece set?
The Milwaukee 48-89-4670 is a 15-piece titanium-coated set covering a range of sizes for metal, wood, and plastics. If the job is a single large hole, single bits are sold individually, such as the Minerallac 59736 Relton 1/2 inch by 6 inch carbide-tipped bit for masonry work or the Lenox 12111-10DGHS 5/8 inch diamond grit bit for hard abrasive material.
