Milwaukee 48-89-4817 Shockwave Titanium Jobber Drill Bit

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 48-89-4817 is a titanium-coated jobber-length drill bit engineered for use with both impact drivers and standard drills. It features the RED HELIX variable-helix geometry, which transitions from an aggressive 35-degree helix angle down to 15 degrees. This design promotes rapid chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup at the cutting edge to help the bit stay sharp through extended use. The 135-degree split point tip provides a self-centering start and eliminates walking on smooth or curved surfaces. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople will find this bit useful across a wide range of jobsite drilling tasks in metal, wood, and composite materials.

This drill bit is suited for residential and commercial jobsite applications where a single bit needs to handle repeated use across varied materials. The titanium surface treatment is rated for up to three times the service life compared to standard black oxide bits. It is sold individually and sized in metric, making it appropriate for tasks that call for metric hole specifications. The variable helix geometry makes it a practical choice when working with impact drivers on tight-access installations common in mechanical and electrical rough-in work.

Key Features

• Titanium coating rated for up to 3X life compared to black oxide drill bits
• RED HELIX variable helix design transitions from 35-degree to 15-degree angle for rapid chip removal
• 135-degree split point tip for self-centering starts with no walking
• SHOCKWAVE impact-duty construction engineered for both impact drivers and standard drills
• CHIP BREAKER geometry reduces heat buildup during extended drilling
• Metric sizing for applications requiring metric hole dimensions

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard drill chucks and impact drivers accepting jobber-length round-shank drill bits.

Installation Notes

Installation of this bit requires a compatible drill or impact driver with a chuck that accepts the bit shank diameter. Ensure the workpiece is secured before drilling to prevent movement. When drilling into metal, use appropriate cutting fluid to further reduce heat and extend bit life. Inspect the bit for wear or damage before each use and replace if the cutting edge is visibly dull or chipped.
