Milwaukee 48-89-4612 SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Impact Duty Drill Bit

Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Drill Bit

The Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE RED HELIX Titanium Drill Bit is a 15/64" impact-duty drill bit built specifically for use with impact drivers as well as standard drills. As part of Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty line, this bit is engineered to stand up to the aggressive torque and vibration that impact drivers generate, helping reduce the bit breakage that can occur when standard bits are paired with impact tools. The bit combines a RED HELIX flute design with a titanium coating, a combination intended to speed up chip removal, resist heat build-up, and extend the working life of the bit across repeated use. At 15/64" (decimal equivalent 0.2344), it is sized for accurate, repeatable hole diameters on jobsite and shop drilling tasks alike.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 15/64" (decimal equivalent 0.2344) diameter delivers a precise, repeatable hole size for applications that call for this exact bit diameter, helping ensure proper fit when drilling pilot holes or clearance holes ahead of fasteners.
• Titanium Coating: The titanium coating on this bit is designed to reduce friction as the bit cuts, helping manage heat build-up during extended drilling sessions and supporting a longer usable life compared to uncoated bits.
• SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Engineering: Built as part of Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty lineup, this bit is engineered to be driven with impact drivers in addition to standard drills, helping it resist the torque spikes and vibration that impact driving produces.
• RED HELIX Flute Geometry: The RED HELIX flute geometry is shaped to move chips out of the hole efficiently as the bit advances, helping the bit keep cutting at a consistent rate rather than binding on packed debris.
• Impact Driver Compatible: Purpose-built for the SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty platform, this bit is intended to be run confidently with impact drivers, giving tradespeople the option to drill with the same tool used for driving fasteners.

Typical Applications

• Impact Driver Drilling: Drilling pilot and clearance holes using an impact driver instead of switching to a separate drill.
• Professional Jobsite Construction: Framing, remodeling, and general construction tasks that call for a durable, repeatable drill bit.
• Repetitive Hole-Drilling Production Work: Situations where a bit needs to hold up to repeated cycles without excessive wear.
• General Contractor and Tradesman Use: Everyday drilling tasks across trades that rely on impact-duty tooling.
• Fastener Pilot Hole Preparation: Preparing accurately sized holes ahead of screws, bolts, or other fasteners.

Why Milwaukee?

Milwaukee engineers the SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty line to work reliably with the torque and vibration profile of impact drivers, rather than simply adapting standard bit designs after the fact. Pairing that impact-duty engineering with a RED HELIX flute geometry and a titanium coating reflects Milwaukee's focus on bits that keep cutting efficiently and resist wear over repeated use. For professionals who rely on impact drivers as a primary tool, a Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty bit like this 15/64" RED HELIX Titanium bit is built to keep pace with that workflow.
