Milwaukee 48894716 6.8mm Red Hex Shockwave HSS-Tin Metal Drill Bits

Milwaukee 48894716 SHOCKWAVE Red Hex 6.8mm HSS‑G TiN metal drill bit (1/4" hex)

Milwaukee 48894716 is a 6.8mm metal drill bit designed for fast, accurate drilling with impact drivers thanks to its 1/4" hex shank. As part of the Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Red Hex range, it’s built to reduce bit walking at the start of the hole and help manage heat during demanding metal-drilling tasks.

Ideal for trades and installers who want quick bit changes and reliable performance, this 48894716 drill bit combines an impact-rated design with an HSS‑G construction and titanium nitride (TiN) coating for efficient cutting and improved durability.

Key Features

• Impact-rated 1/4" hex shank: Optimised for use with impact drivers for secure grip and quick bit changes.
• HSS‑G drill bit: Ground high-speed steel design for consistent drilling performance in metal applications.
• Titanium nitride (TiN) coating: Helps disperse heat during drilling to support longer bit life.
• 135° split-point tip: Reduces walking for a more precise start and cleaner, more accurate holes.
• Variable flute geometry: Aids faster material ejection to keep the bit running cooler during use.
