Milwaukee Shockwave Metal Drill Bit Set, 1/4" Hex Drill Assortment – 120-Piece Pack

The set is designed for metal drilling and performs well on metal, wood, and plastic. For best results on metal, use cutting oil and avoid forcing the bit. For harder metals, consider specialized bits.

The 120-piece set comprises 1/4" diameter drill bits in a variety of Shockwave styles (and includes a compact carrying case) to cover a wide range of drilling tasks across metal, wood, and plastic.

Tips: use cutting oil or lubricant on metal, start with a slower RPM and increase gradually, apply steady, moderate feed pressure, and avoid lateral or side loads. Let the bit cut rather than forcing it to prevent wear and heat buildup.

Keep the bits in the included compact carrying case when not in use. Store in a dry, clean area and organize by size/type to make quick changes easier on the job.

Always wear safety glasses and appropriate gloves, secure the workpiece with clamps, keep hands away from rotating bits, and ensure the drill is properly configured for the bit size to prevent kickback or slippage.

They work well for aluminum and mild steel. For stainless steel or hardened alloys, consider cobalt or HSS bits specifically rated for those materials to achieve longer life and better performance.

Compared to smaller 60-piece Shockwave sets, the 120-piece version provides broader coverage of sizes and bit types, offering more versatility for varying projects while retaining the Shockwave durability.

Ideal for metal fabrication, automotive repairs, hobbyist metalworking, and general home improvement projects. It’s well-suited for drilling through metal panels, aluminum components, and plastic housings, with versatility for wood as a secondary task.

For standard drills with a chuck, loosen the chuck, insert the bit fully, and tighten securely. For quick-change chucks or driver drills, use the appropriate bit holder or collet, and ensure the bit is seated straight before operation to prevent wobble and wear.
