Ehh, It's okay

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This 1/4" Shockwave Carbide Multi-Material drill bit doesn't live up to its name. It drills thru wood & sheetrock fine. But don't try it with anything harder, unless you want to be drilling that hole all day. Tile, nope. Metal, nope. So if you're looking for drill bit to cut either of those don't get it. But for wood & sheetrock, sure.

No, I do not recommend this product.

A drill bit, better than just a BIT

3 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This carbide tipped drill bit, which I use in both regular mode and in hammer-drill mode, is really superb. It cuts fast. It starts quickly with no moving around and going off center of the intended position. I hammer-drill mode, it goes through concrete very easily. Great for drilling for plugs in masonry.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Drill bit broke within 3-4 holes

3 years ago
I read the Required hammer drill settings and I said it in after like the fourth hole the tip broke Which is kind of disappointing since Milwaukee makes good tools And not long lasting drill bits for small duty jobs which requires hammer drill settings
