Used them on a brick exterior wall. They start working really great but wear down after 10-12 holes. Having the 5 pack was good. I would’ve hated going back for a second or third bit.

Designed for impact or hammer drills, these drill bits are engineered to drill through concrete, block or brick. You will get 5x the life from these bits and their design makes them twice a fast as other bits (cuts your drill time in half). They are not recommended to be used in an impact driver for concrete. An impact driver can be used if you are drill brick or block. Great for high speed in a hammer drill for concrete, brick or block.These bits are 1/4″ by 4″ by 6″ and come 5 to a pack.

This 5 pack 5/32″ hardened carbide drill bits from Milwaukee, is perfect for masonry and harder surfaces, such as concrete, brick, block and granite rock. It is the perfect concrete carbide drill bits for all concrete / masonry use. The hardened steel bit is sharpened for easy starting into hard masonry use. Drills easily into brick, block and tested on harder granite stone material, where this bit didn’t wobble, and easily drilled a clean hole. The long shank is a added convenient feature making this product easy to use.

this bit did the job! i had previously purchased three different brands of bits for concrete that burned on the first hole. 1 of these completed five holes.

These 3/16″ Milwaukee Hammer Drill bits are great. I really like that the shanks are hexagonal. They locked very nicely into my 3 jaw chuck. I didn’t need to murder the chuck key to get it tight enough to not spin. I had some very hard fired bricks to try them on. This little bit zipped right into the brick with no issues. The bits are long enough to go totally through a brick like this. I experienced zero flex on the shaft while drilling. These smaller bits are sometimes a little fragile when side torque is applied. Not this one. It was great. I have a new favorite hammer drill bit.

These bits worked great. Less susceptible to dulling out the tip than the internet no-named brands. Used them in my handheld impact drill for a quick job.

This 5 pack of carbide tipped hammer drill bits is intended for concrete, cinder block, or brick. My previous drill bits intended for this made by another company struggled to get through brick. I attached one to my hammer drill and gave it a try. I’m not sure the hammer function engaged except for brief spurts, as the bit made it’s way easily through the brick. I can’t speak to longevity, as I only just got these. However, they seem to be well made, and well packaged. They are made in China.

You can’t go wrong with a Milwaukee product. These bits are hex head bits that can be mounted in any chuck that that uses that head and even has a locking kerf. They are well made and fluted for quick material removal. They are carbide tipped for durability. It is a fast cutting bit. It is rated to drill several different hard materials. This model carbide hammer drill bit (48-20-9162) is six inches long.

This is my review of the Milwaukee 1/4 inch shockwave carbide hammer drill bits 48-20-9162 designed for use in impact and hammer drills. I just had the opportunity to try these bits while replacing some drain lines that had to be secured to concrete columns. I used the bits in a cordless hammer drill and they did the job. Drilling was fast and effortless, The bits did not walk when starting a hole. After installing over 25 straps (50) holes I was still using the same bit. I would recommend these. If I need other size bits for concrete I will buy this brand.

I really like these Milwaukee 5/32″ hammer drill bits. They are made from hard steel. Nice and long. In this series the hexagonal shanks are all the same size. They shaft locks into the chuck really well. No slipping. Sometimes bits this small are a bit fragile and will break pretty easily. I saw no evidence that this one would have that issue. It zipped right through a hard fired brick with just normal pressure. I will buy Shockwave when and if I wear these out.
