Milwaukee 48-32-4562 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Milwaukee 48-32-4562 Phillips #2 bit be used in an impact driver, or is it drill-only?
It's built for impact duty. The SHOCKWAVE bit is made for use with both impact drivers and drills, and the SHOCKZONE shank section is tuned to absorb peak torque so the bit flexes instead of snapping under impact hammering. A standard non-impact insert bit in an impact driver is what usually shears off at the shank.
2) How long is the Milwaukee 48-32-4562 power bit, and will it reach into a recessed or counterbored hole?
The bit measures 3-1/2 inches overall, so it reaches considerably deeper than a 1-inch or 2-inch insert bit and gets into recessed holes, strike pockets, and panel openings without a bit holder. The flip side: that length means more wobble at the tip than a short insert bit, so for precision fastening in tight quarters a shorter bit is the better pick.
3) Does this Milwaukee bit need a bit holder or magnetic extension?
No. It's a 3-1/2 inch power bit, so it chucks straight into the driver's 1/4 inch hex collet and already supplies the reach a bit holder would add. You'd only add a magnetic holder if you want screw retention, since this is a plain power bit.
4) Is this bit magnetic for holding screws?
The 48-32-4562 is a plain Phillips #2 power bit, not a magnetic nut driver. If you want the screw to stay put on the bit for one-handed work overhead or in a ceiling box, you want a magnetic driver instead, such as the Rack-A-Tiers 70462RY hexagonal magnetic driver bit in the C-Rhex series.
5) Why do Phillips bits keep stripping my screw heads, and does this one help?
Cam-out is usually a tip-fit problem. The SHOCKWAVE Phillips #2 uses customized tip geometry to grip the recess more fully and reduce stripping, plus a wear guard on the tip and a custom heat treat to hold that geometry longer. Fit still only works if you're actually in a #2 recess, which is why the size is laser etched on the bit.
6) What is the exact part number to reorder this Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Phillips #2 power bit?
Order Milwaukee Tool 48-32-4562. That's the 3-1/2 inch Impact Duty Phillips #2 power bit. Milwaukee sells SHOCKWAVE Phillips #2 in several lengths, so the part number is what pins you to the 3-1/2 inch version rather than a 1-inch insert or 2-inch bit.
7) Which driver bit holds the screw on the bit for one-handed overhead work?
The Rack-A-Tiers 70462RY is a hexagonal magnetic driver bit, so it retains a hex-head fastener on the bit while you set it. The Milwaukee 48-32-4562 is a Phillips #2 power bit with a SHOCKZONE shank built to absorb peak torque from an impact driver, so for Phillips screws overhead you would typically pair it with a separate magnetic bit holder or a screw-holding sleeve.
8) Is the Milwaukee 48-32-4562 rated for impact drivers, or do I need a different bit?
The 48-32-4562 is a SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty bit, designed for use with impact drivers as well as drill drivers, with a custom heat treat and a SHOCKZONE shank optimized to the tip type to resist breaking. It is made of proprietary steel. The Rack-A-Tiers 70462RY C-Rhex is a hexagonal magnetic driver bit for hex-head fasteners and is the alternative when the fastener head, not the tool, is what differs.
9) What is the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE bit made of, and where is it made?
Proprietary steel with a custom heat treatment, manufactured in Vietnam. For an MRO crib standardizing on one Phillips #2 for impact work, the material and heat treat are what carry the bit through repeated high-torque driving rather than a plain hardened tip.
