Milwaukee 48-20-5497 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Milwaukee 48-20-5497 drift key actually used for?
It's the tool for knocking the centering bit out of a Milwaukee one piece core bit. The centering bit (Milwaukee 48-20-5495) seats inside the core bit to keep it from walking at the start of the hole; once you've cored the pilot and want the bit out, the drift key drives it free. One key per model number, 48-20-5497.
2) Will the 48-20-5497 drift key work with my SDS-Max rotary hammer core bits?
Yes. The 48-20-5497 is specified for use with SDS-Max, so it matches Milwaukee one piece core bits run on an SDS-Max rotary hammer. It's not intended for two piece core bit and adapter setups, where the pilot arrangement is different.
3) Does a Milwaukee one piece core bit come with a drift key, or do I need to order it separately?
The 48-20-5497 is sold as a separate replacement part, which is how most crews end up buying it after the original key walks off a jobsite. If you're running one piece SDS-Max core bits and also need the pilot, the matching centering bit is Milwaukee 48-20-5495, ordered on its own as well.
4) I need to order a replacement drift key for Milwaukee core bits. What exactly do I ask for?
Ask for Milwaukee Tool 48-20-5497, drift key for one piece core bits. There are no finish, size, or length options to pick, it ships as a single configuration under that one part number.
5) Is the Milwaukee drift key carbide tipped, and why does that matter?
Carbide tipped, yes. The tip takes the hammer blows you put into it while driving the centering bit out without mushrooming or deforming the way a soft steel wedge would, so the key stays usable across repeated core holes.
6) Where is the Milwaukee 48-20-5497 drift key made?
Germany. Buyers submitting country of origin documentation on government or institutional orders can list it as German manufacture under Milwaukee part number 48-20-5497.
