Product Description
Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE 5-Piece Metric Impact Drill and Tap Set
Model Number: 48-89-4875
The Milwaukee 48-89-4875 is a SHOCKWAVE 5-Piece Metric Impact Drill and Tap Set — an impact-rated combination set for drilling and tapping metric threaded holes with an impact driver or drill, covering the most commonly used metric thread specifications in European equipment, imported machinery, automotive work, and any application where metric thread standards are specified. Each piece includes a drill bit matched to the correct tap drill size for the corresponding metric thread specification plus the impact-rated tap — the drill bit creates the correct root diameter hole, and the SHOCKWAVE tap cuts the metric thread without the brittle fracture that standard hand taps experience when used with impact drivers. Milwaukee's SHOCKWAVE impact-rated tap specification allows the impact driver's rotational impact energy to drive taps efficiently through metal without the sudden stop-and-go that breaks standard taps — the geometry and steel specification of SHOCKWAVE taps absorbs impact energy in the torsional direction that tap driving generates.
The 5-piece metric set addresses the expanding range of metric-fastened equipment encountered in North American automotive, HVAC, industrial, and commercial work as imported equipment and international-standard components become increasingly common in service and repair applications. The powered tapping capability provided by impact-rated taps dramatically reduces the time and physical effort of tapping metric threads compared to hand tapping, particularly when multiple holes must be tapped in hard materials. Always use cutting oil and periodically retract to clear chips for best thread quality.
