We needed this bit to drill drain holes in our concrete floored chicken coop. It’s heavy duty and works well with little wearing on the bit. It does require a high speed drill and lots of strong pressure to get through concrete. It drilled through he floor fine after some sweat, so my wife tried it to chip away at a concrete column we needed to sculpt down. The third photo shows some of the effects of that. She was able to do it with this bit, but she did have to rest often.

Milwaukee, always the best design, best material, and best production under the stars. But I am a bit biased, been a fan of Milwaukee since they where made here in the states, even with external production, their products ie: drill bit, meet and excell the competition. Plus the look of their red has become synonmous with quality, and can be seen redily on the job site. Packed well. Love the hex shank………………………………..

I occasionally need a concrete masonry bit for various projects and wanted to have this Milwaukee hammer drill bit for the next project. This 1” carbide hammer drill bit can be used for concrete, bricks, and cinder type blocks. This bit bores a 1’ diameter hole and has an overall length of 6”, including the 4” cutting portion. It is sure-grip, with three flat sides on the shank, which prevents slippage of the bit. It is good quality.

Strong Drill Bit, went in easy, too easy, I’d say.

The 1 inch by 4 inch long shorty drill bit is mainly used for concrete but I had to use it for concrete blocks. I was installing a gas pipe for a BBQ grill and found the smaller hole wasn’t quite large enough for the new pipe. It is tough, sharp and powerful making easier work for large holes. I have also used it for concrete surrounding wood posts sunk in concrete. Great job for this tough little giant. Carbide will last a long time.

many reviews are saying a few inches for this bit, but ill say that i had to drill 12 holes about 8″ deep in a solid concrete wall to stick my fence post braces into. wow did this tear through like butter.

The Milwaukee 5/8” Carbide Hammer Drill Bit, part number 48-20-9042 in my professional opinion seemed plenty adequate to bore through a 10 year old 4” thick concrete block. We utilized the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2” Hammer Drill/Driver, part number 2804-20 to power this bit and this drill had more than enough power. Now, if we were drilling through concrete thicker than 4”, a larger drill with a hammer feature would have been utilized for efficiency and user fatigue.

Drilled like a hot knife thru butter.

I picked this bit up for a tile project, to drill holes in cement board in the shower and bath. It is not a real demanding job for this tool which is professional grade. Using a standard drill, rather than the hammer drill it calls for, it punched a hole in 1/2 inch cement board in about a second. It should last a long time, it feels very heavy duty.

5 holes in 4000psi concrete and looks new. Great bit clears debris well while in use.

First…this is a three flat shank bit suitable for use in hammer drill with a three-jaw chuck, not directly in a SDS Plus or Max chuck. They do make three-jaw chucks with SDS shafts, which is how I used the bit to drill into concrete and concrete block effortlessly using two different hammer drills—a corded Milwaukee and a cordless Ryobi. Drilling into brick took much longer. The new bit drilled smoothly, and the point stayed in position as the holes started but the hole in the CMU drifted and created an oblong hole—probably due to the material and not the bit. The flutes are much wider than some other bits—see comparative photo—which allows the dust to flow out of the hole without binding. The ”1” X 10” X 12” (25.4 mm X 254 mm X 305 mm) designation refers to the diameter, the nominal length of 1-inch diameter portion and the overall length of the bit from end to end. The flutes end 9-inches (228 mm) from the tip. This allowed me to drill through an 8-inch CMU with no problem, and I believe that the bit could handle a 10-inch block. Drilling through solid concrete looks limited to the 9 to 10-inch range with proper clearing of the hole. The shaft of the bit is reduced to fit in a 3/8-inch chuck. After drilling test holes through an 8-inch CMU and a brick and then 21 holes through 4-inch old concrete, the bit showed little wear except for some of the red paint near the tip—see photo.The smooth, red powder-coated flutes are a nice touch, but I cannot tell if they add to the functionality of the bit. The flutes are easy to clean and the paint should resist rusting. Alas, the “Milwaukee” bit is made in China.

Used it to make some holes on different walls, one was of concrete, another cinder block and the third was cement! It did great in all three! Still looking almost new, just but of paint at tip gone

Bought this bit to go through brick mortar and brick. It worked much better than anticipated. Key to success is dipping the bit in water to cool it off every few minutes and patience.

The Milwaukee 3/4 in. x 10 in. x 12 in. Carbide Hammer Drill Bit makes a 3/4 inch hole in concrete. It has a carbide tip to drill into hard concrete, brick, or cinder block, has a 10 inch long cutting bit and a total of 12 inches long from end to end. The shank fits into a hammer drill with a 3/8 inch shank. This bit is advertised to have 5 times the life as ordinary hammer drill bits. The carbide tip is sharpened in a fluted shape to remove the dust from drilling. This is a very nice, durable hammer drill bit. Cuts through cement quickly making a clean hole without wavering.
