SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty 1-1/8" x 24" Lineman's Auger Bit

The Milwaukee 48-13-6812 is a SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty lineman's auger bit, 1-1/8" in diameter and 24" long, with a 7/16" hex shank. It is built for power utility linemen boring bolt holes through wooden utility poles.

Why it's built this way

• A single spur scores the rim of the hole for a clean edge, so the bolt passes through without binding.
• The feed screw is aggressive and, together with the cutting edge, pulls the bit into the pole for faster drilling.
• Wide flutes throw chips out quickly, keeping the hole clear and cutting down on clogs.
• A reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating helps the bit turn smoothly and back out of the pole more easily.
• The solid stemmed core adds strength.
• The 7/16" hex shank drops straight into a 7/16" quick-connect chuck.

Is this the right one for you?

You need a tool with a 7/16" quick-connect chuck to run this bit. The 24" length gives 21" of drilling depth. Milwaukee recommends it for clean wood only, so keep it out of wood with embedded hardware. If you don't need that much reach, the same bit is also made in an 18" length.
