Milwaukee Thunderbolt Drill Bits
14 PC Milwaukee® Thunderbolt® Titanium Coated Drill Bits 48-89-0011
I break drill bits all the time. A simple IPE deck install sometimes requires a dozen drill bits.
Up until now I just wrote off the drill breakage to part of doing business. That is until I came across the Milwaukee Thunderbolt drill bits.
When I first handled these bits the spiral flutes seemed sharper than my standard drill bits. I used the Thunderbolt bits to drill through aluminum, metal gas pipe and staging pie as well as into wood. The bits cut cleanly, smoothly and easily. Guess what ~ none of them broke!
Tapered Web drill bits are designed for the job-site and extreme working conditions. The Thunderbolt web features a thicker core than a standard drill bit, which provides strength and resists breakage, a common and irritating issue with standard drill bits.
Features and Benefits:
- A parabolic flute form clears chips and debris fast to keep the bit cool.
- Titanium Coating keeps the bits sharp
- A precision start, 135 Split Point tip starts on contact to keep the bit from walking for fast accurate holes.
- A 3-Flat “Secure-Grip” shank is designed in a way that the drill chuck grabs the bit and eliminates slippage.
- The larger bits have a reduced shank diameter for use in 3/8-Inch chucks.
- Sizes: 1/16″ thur 1/2″ by 64ths
The Thunderbolt drill bits are excellent for drilling on curved surfaces. They require less effort to drill and are recommended for use with portable drills.
