Bigmikez Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Those are also nice man I own some of those the magnet works great and just picked a set of the makita bits from HD mayby 2-3 monthes ago and have only used one bit so far it's just starting to wear down tryem out man c what u think.

NERemodeling Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 those super powerful magnetic attachments are great! they hold screw like nothing else. the shockwave phillips bits are the weak link of that set, they aren't bad but they just round out a little faster than others.. everything else should be perfect for you.. looks like you have phillips covered with the dewalt bits anyway so your good to go! nice choices!!

James Duncan Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 i will say though the #2 phillips by milwaukee is not very good i switched out and used the dewalt flextorq one and its just perfect.. might actually return my 61pc shockwave set for a dewalt flextorq set.. but the thunderbolt black oxide bits are super.. i drilled 30 1/2 in holes in about 30 seconds.. only came with one belt clip attached to the impact driver but after checking the milwaukee site thats how it comes..

DR99 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yea the Milwaukee Phillips bits are embarrassing. They really should release a new design I know people like to keep brands similar, but I won't for shitty bits and you use #2 Phillips the most. Its kinda crazy the Milwaukee bit tips get worn down as fast as they do. Keep us updated on how you like the new brusless set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Duncan Posted March 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 uh oh ... the dril has some very noticeable wobble .. i tried several drill bits 1/2 3/8 1/8 and other bits/holders might have to return you can feel the entire drill shake and after checking the hole i made (made a bunch more to check) its got a wobble the tops of the holes are bored out i wonder if this has to do with shrinking the size etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 More likely to be teething pains on an early manufacturing run of a new product would be my guess. A replacement will fix the issue I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Duncan Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 yeah im off to home depot to sort it out soon ill keep you guys posted.. i already returned the shockwave bits for flextorq dewalts and the difference is noticeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
