Milwaukee 48-89-2217 Titanium Jobber Drill Bit 6.8 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-89-2217 is a titanium-coated jobber-length drill bit built for demanding drilling in metal, wood, and PVC. The titanium coating reduces heat buildup and extends cutting edge life. A thicker-than-standard web core resists side-load breakage, while the 135-degree split point tip starts on contact without walking. The parabolic flute geometry clears chips quickly to maintain drilling speed. The 3-flat shank prevents slipping in the chuck. Overall length is 6.8 inches. This bit is suited for trade professionals who drill frequently in mixed materials on the job site.

This drill bit is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where repeated, accurate hole-making is required. The reduced shank diameter allows use in 3/8-inch chucks, making it compatible with a wide range of portable drills. It is well suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors who need a durable, general-purpose bit for field work in wood framing, metal studs, sheet metal, and plastic conduit or pipe.
