The Milwaukee 48-89-2321 Thunderbolt Cobalt Drill Bit is engineered for demanding drilling tasks in hard metals, including stainless steel and other high-strength materials. This 3/8-inch jobber bit delivers consistent performance even under the extreme heat generated during heavy-duty drilling, making it an ideal choice for both cordless and corded drill applications where precision and durability matter.
Built with cobalt material and Milwaukee’s RED HELIX design, this twist flute drill bit provides up to 10 times the service life of standard black oxide bits. The variable helix geometry—featuring an aggressive 35-degree angle that transitions to 15 degrees—enables rapid chip removal and minimizes heat buildup, keeping the bit sharper longer. The 135-degree split point tip delivers a precision start and prevents walking, ensuring fast and accurate holes in tough applications.
