Milwaukee 48-89-4601 SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Drill Bit

Milwaukee 48-89-4601 SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Drill Bit, 1/16" Impact Duty

The Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Drill Bit is a 1/16" drill bit built specifically for Impact Duty applications. Constructed with titanium, this bit is designed to deliver the strength and heat resistance needed to stand up to repeated high-torque impacts from impact drivers. The signature RED HELIX flute geometry is engineered to help move chips and debris out of the hole as you drill, supporting straighter starts and more controlled cutting action. Whether used on the jobsite or in the shop, this compact 1/16" bit is sized for precision work where accuracy matters.

Key Features

• Bit Size: 1/16" diameter delivers a precise, consistently sized hole for detail and fine drilling tasks.
• Titanium Construction: Titanium material provides added strength and helps resist the heat generated during repeated drilling cycles.
• SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Engineering: Purpose-built to hold up to the shock, vibration, and torque spikes produced by impact driver use, helping extend usable bit life.
• RED HELIX Flute Design: The RED HELIX flute geometry is engineered to help clear chips and debris from the hole efficiently during drilling.
• Reduced Bit Walking: Helps promote a more controlled start point so the bit is less likely to wander off the mark before it engages the material.
• Drill Bit Type: Twist-style drill bit designed to work with impact driver bit holders and chucks.
• Compact Format: Small 1/16" format fits into a standard bit set or storage case alongside other Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE bits.
