Milwaukee 48-13-6803 Shockwave Lineman Impact Auger Bit

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-13-6803 is a SHOCKWAVE Lineman Impact Auger Bit engineered for power utility professionals drilling into wooden utility poles. This 9/16 inch diameter bit is built with a solid stemmed core for added structural strength and features a reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating that reduces friction during drilling and simplifies bit removal after the hole is complete. The aggressive feed screw and precision cutting edge pull the bit through dense wood efficiently, while the optimized wide flute geometry ejects chips rapidly to keep the hole clear and maintain consistent drilling speed. Weighing 0.79 pounds, it is sized for field use by licensed utility linemen.

This bit is designed specifically for clean wood utility pole applications in power utility line work. The single spur design scores the perimeter of the hole before material is removed, producing a clean edge finish that allows hardware such as bolts and line equipment to pass through without resistance. The 7/16 inch hex shank provides fast, tool-free connection into standard 7/16 inch quick-connect impact driver chucks, making it compatible with common impact drivers used in field environments. It is available in 18 inch and 24 inch lengths to suit varying pole depths and installation reach requirements.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with impact drivers and auger drivers equipped with a 7/16 inch quick-connect chuck. Recommended for clean wood only. Not intended for use in treated, laminated, or metal-embedded utility pole materials.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of lineman auger bits should be performed by qualified power utility linemen following applicable utility safety standards and site-specific work procedures. Verify the impact driver is rated for auger bit use before operation. Inspect the bit for damage or wear before each use and discontinue use if cracks or deformation are observed. Follow all lockout and de-energization procedures required for work on or near utility structures.
