The Milwaukee 5-Piece SHOCKWAVE Carbide Hammer Drill Bit Kit uses sharpened carbide to deliver up to 5x longer life in concrete and up to 2x faster drilling into masonry materials. Engineered with a precision ground tip, these bits deliver faster starts and less walking in concrete, brick and block. The carbide-tipped masonry drill bits’ wide flute design removes dust faster, reducing heat and delivering more holes per charge. Equipped with a 1/4 in. Hex Shank, Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Carbide Hammer Drill Bits are the ideal solution for drilling in masonry materials with both impacts and hammer drills/drivers. This drill bit kit includes one 5/32 in., one 3/16 in., one 1/4 in., one 5/16 in. and one 3/8 in. hammer drill bits.

I got this set for a up comming job that fall through. But I wanted to test them out and see how good they are so I found a big rock in the back yard and put some holes in it. First I used the smallest bit and put a hole in the rock in about 20 seconds I was all the way in, not bad at all. Then I used the larger bit 3/8 and went in at the same hole all in in 10 second. This really suprised me. So I got a piace of concret that was laying in the yard and tried puting a hole in it with the 3/8 bit with out a starter hole. this took longer there was stones in the concret and it was hard. But again I was all the way in in about 30 seconds. I just wish I had this set when I installed Transision strips in the house last month. It would on cut the concret like butter I used a old set of standard masonary bits and I really had to work at it to get the hole in the floor. I did use a inpack drill for the test and the bit was hot after cutting the concret hole but I was still able to remove it with out burning my hand. This tells me it was cutting the concret with out much problems at all. Again they are new sharp and well made. I did not aply alot pressure to cut the holes I just let the drill and bit do the work, and work they did. I will be getting a lager set for biger jobs. I just love good tools. they make my jobs so much easer.

These shock wave bits do what they are supposed to do very well which is drill holes in concrete, hard brick,and cinder block. I tested them with a hammer drill in both hammer and drill mode and, because these are hex drive, with an impact driver as well. All worked well with all materials with the hammer drill most efficient especially with the larger diameter bits. However, when I hit stone in cincrete, only the hammer drill penetrated without enlarging the hole.

Right tool for the job. Hammer-drilled into a granite mailbox post like it was soft pine.

Drills did a good job.

Bits were used on old concrete. Along with hammer drill they went through concrete easily. However, bits look fairly beat up. The real test will be when I need to use the bits in the future.

I ordered the MILWAUKEE SHOCKWAVE CARBIDE HAMMER DRILL BITS (7 PCS) 5/32″, 3/16″ (2), 1/4″ (2), 5/16″, 3/8″. They come in a nice plastic case so that you can keep track of them. I had to drill some holes in a concrete pad, to mount some some post bases with some drop-in anchors. The bit that I used worked like a charm, (like a hot knife through butter). I was able to finish the work that I had lined out for today in no time flat. I have not used the other bits yet, however I’m sure that they work just as well. I am very glad that I ordered the MILWAUKEE SHOCKWAVE CARBIDE HAMMER DRILL BITS. MILWAUKEE rocks. You can buy them at the Home Depot today.

The set of masonry bits is high quality and sharp. Thus far, they have not dulled while drilling tile, tile backer board, brick or brick mortar joints. Each bit’s size is labeled at the shank end. Conceivably the size label of the bit would wear away as it is inserted into the drill driver but only time will tell if this is true. The most annoying task is unpacking the bits. Understandably the packaging must be theft proof but the method on removing the wrapping is not intuitive. Only after you’ve destroyed the technical labels do you discover that the case components are male/female. See the attached pictures.

I am giving a review of Milwaukee carbide hammer drill bits designed for impact duty in concrete. I recently added a few outside electrical outlets which required using pvc conduit, all of which had to be secured to concrete columns. I had to use a few different types of fasteners requiring different size holes to be drilled. This set of bits was perfect, they were easy to use with my cordless hammer drill. They all preformed well drilling with very little effort from the first hole to the last.They will definitely be in my tool box for further projects.

Yes, these hammer drill bits are doing the job. The bits have a very stable and secure fit, so there wasn’t any wobbling or inaccurate drilling. The bits are robust and well made, and sure to last longer than ones I’ve used in the past. Currently, I’m securing items to a concrete slab, and these bits are working well and holding up. Good choice, for sure.
