banjerpicker Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm wondering if anybody knows of any good American made bits for a Milwaukee M18 Fuel impact driver. Also, is there a good source for American made drill bits? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 There are lots of US made drill bits. Chicago-Latrobe, Norseman, Viking, and even some of the Irwin Hanson bits are USA made. The only impact bits that come to mind are Apex brand. I'm sure there are probably others, but not that I can name off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefighter4187 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Most of Milwaukee drill bits are made in Mississippi I believe along with saw blades and some corded saws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Rebel Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Buy the Milwaukee shockwave kit, not sure if its made here, but a great kit to use with your impact driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have some bosch #2's that say USA on them but they're not impact rated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TylerDama Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 I have had the best luck with the shockwave set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I personally wasn't a fan of the Milwaukee Shockwave bits the were ok but wore out pretty fast. I did pick up some of the Dewalt Flextorque impact bits and I was happy with them I can't remember if they were made in the USA though. They really don't make it easy to find!

frankiegarcia19 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Shockwave bits suck, honest opinion coming from a guy who owns only Milwaukee cordless...my 14 fuel impact eats up shockwave # 2....i find my self buying bits every other trip to HD... any other impact rated bits u guys know are tried and true?

Kato Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I use Makita Gold, and to confirm what has been already said...they kick ass! Haven't broke one yet, haven't seen any signs of them wearing out, and I'm fairly brutal to them sometimes. I use Dewalt impact bits at work, and within the time-frame of a few days I've snapped the tips off of two Philips bits, and a coworker has snapped one off too. That was using a Dewalt impact and the tips snapped off doing simple work like putting lath screws into racking. The two tips I broke off broke before the screw even hit bottom.
