Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Insert Bit Slotted 1/4 in. — 2 Pack
Model Number: 48-32-4418
The Milwaukee 48-32-4418 is a 2-pack of SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Slotted 1/4 in. insert bits — engineered impact driver bits for driving slotted fasteners in electrical, HVAC, mechanical equipment, and industrial applications where the larger 1/4 in. slotted profile engages bigger slotted fastener head sizes found on larger terminal screws, equipment cover fasteners, access panel hardware, and heavy-duty slotted fasteners in commercial and industrial equipment installations. The 1/4 in. slotted specification is used for the larger slotted fasteners on motor terminal covers, junction box covers, large electrical enclosure hardware, mechanical equipment panels, and industrial machinery assembly where the wider slot requires a 1/4 in. blade rather than the narrower 1/8 in. or 3/16 in. slotted sizes. Milwaukee manufactures SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty bits from proprietary steel with multi-zone heat treatment — the 1/4 in. slotted tip receives hard surface treatment for wear resistance under the repeated engagement stress of impact driver use, while the shank retains toughness for impact energy absorption.
The Shockzone torsional compliance feature in the SHOCKWAVE bit shank absorbs the peak rotational impact energy from each impact driver hammer strike before it reaches the slotted driving tip — preventing the progressive tip rounding and deformation that causes standard 1/4 in. slotted bits to slip out of fastener heads quickly under impact driver loading. Up to 10x longer life than standard driver bits in the same application. The 2-pack format ensures an immediately available replacement when one bit reaches end of service life on an equipment installation or service job where the 1/4 in. slotted drive is heavily used. The wider 1/4 in. slotted profile is more robust than narrower slotted sizes and is better suited to high-torque applications where a narrower blade would slip out of the wider slot under the driving torque required.
SHOCKWAVE Slotted 1/4 in. bits are also available in 2-in. power bit length for extended reach applications where the standard 1 in. insert length is insufficient for the driver to clear surrounding hardware during fastener engagement.
