Milwaukee 48-13-6702 Lineman Impact Auger Bit 1/2 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-13-6702 is a SHOCKWAVE lineman impact auger bit engineered for power utility professionals who drill through wooden utility poles. The 1/2 inch diameter bit features a single spur design that scores the edge of the hole for a clean finish, allowing hardware to pass through without resistance. A reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating reduces friction during drilling and makes bit removal easier. The aggressive feed screw and cutting edge pull the bit through the material, while the optimized wide flute geometry ejects chips rapidly to prevent clogging and maintain drilling speed. The solid stemmed core adds structural strength for demanding field use.

This bit is designed for power utility lineman work, specifically drilling clean holes in wooden utility poles in the field. It is intended for clean wood only and is well suited to repetitive pole drilling tasks where hole quality and speed are both critical. The 7/16 inch hex shank provides fast connection into 7/16 inch quick-connect impact chucks, making it compatible with common impact driver setups used in utility line work. Licensed electricians and utility linemen performing overhead and underground distribution work are the primary installers of this bit.
