Milwaukee 48-13-6904 Lineman Impact Auger Bit 5/8 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-13-6904 is a SHOCKWAVE lineman's impact auger bit engineered for drilling clean, fast holes in wooden utility poles. It features a single spur design that scores the perimeter of the hole, producing a cleaner finish so bolts slide through without resistance. A reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating reduces friction during drilling and makes bit removal easier after each hole. The aggressive feed screw and cutting edge pull the bit through the wood, while the optimized wide flute geometry ejects chips quickly to clear the hole and reduce clogging. The solid stemmed core adds strength under the high-torque demands of impact drilling. Power utility linemen are the primary users of this bit.

This bit is designed specifically for drilling into wooden utility poles and is recommended for clean wood only. The 7/16 inch hex shank connects directly into 7/16 inch quick-connect impact chucks, making it compatible with most modern impact drivers and right-angle drills used in utility line work. At 5/8 inch diameter and 27 inch flute length, it reaches the depth required for through-bolt installations on standard utility pole hardware. This is a single-piece item sold individually.
