Milwaukee 48-89-4631 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Milwaukee 48-89-4631 drill bit set work in an impact driver, or do I need a drill?
Both. Every bit in the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty RED HELIX titanium set has a 1/4 inch hex shank, so it drops straight into an impact driver's collet or into a drill driver chuck. That is the main reason to buy this set over a round-shank jobber bit set: round shanks slip in an impact collet and cannot be used there at all.
2) Can I drill steel with the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE titanium bits, or are they wood-only?
They are rated for metal, wood and plastics. The titanium coating and the QUAD EDGE tip are what make the metal drilling practical, and the thicker tapered web is there to keep the bit from snapping under impact torque when it bites in sheet steel or strut. For an electrician drilling device boxes, strut, and stud track alongside wood framing, one set covers both.
3) What does RED HELIX actually mean on a Milwaukee drill bit?
RED HELIX is Milwaukee's name for three things combined in one bit: the QUAD EDGE tip, the VARIABLE HELIX flute, and a thicker tapered web. The QUAD EDGE tip holds its edge longer, the variable helix flute clears chips faster so the bit does not pack up and burn in deeper holes, and the thicker web adds body strength. It is a geometry package, not a coating; the coating on the 48-89-4631 set is titanium.
4) Is a titanium coated bit set worth it over a black oxide set for MRO work?
Milwaukee rates the titanium coating on the SHOCKWAVE set at 5X the life of black oxide drill bits. For a maintenance crew or a shop that drills metal regularly, that is the deciding difference, because black oxide gives up its edge fast in steel. If the work is nearly all soft wood and plastic, the gap narrows and black oxide is the cheaper consumable. The other thing you get here that most black oxide sets lack is the 1/4 inch hex shank for impact drivers.
5) Does the Milwaukee 48-89-4631 set come in a case that fits a PACKOUT system?
It ships in a customizable accessory case built for use in PACKOUT. The bit slots are customizable, so if you pull sizes you do not use or add other SHOCKWAVE accessories, the case adapts rather than leaving you with fixed empty pockets. The set is 23 pieces.
6) Why do impact rated drill bits break less than standard twist bits in an impact driver?
An impact driver delivers torque in hammering pulses rather than steady rotation, and a standard twist bit's thin web is the point that fails under that. The SHOCKWAVE bits use a thicker tapered web specifically to increase bit strength, which is what lets them run on an impact driver. If you are putting ordinary jobber bits in an impact tool, that is why they are snapping.
7) How do I tell the bit sizes apart once they are out of the case?
Each bit in the SHOCKWAVE titanium set is laser etched with its size. Etched marking survives use far better than stamped or printed sizing, which matters on a set that gets dumped in a pouch, because a bit you cannot identify is a bit that gets used on the wrong hole.
8) What is the Milwaukee part number I should order for the 23 piece SHOCKWAVE titanium drill bit set?
Order Milwaukee 48-89-4631. That is the manufacturer part number for the 23 piece SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty RED HELIX titanium drill bit set, and it is the only configuration this model covers, so there is no size range or finish option to specify on the order.
