48-89-9208 #8 Step Drill Bit, 1/2-1 In., 9 Steps, 3/8 In. Shank

The Milwaukee 48-89-9208 #8 Step Drill Bit is a versatile specialty drill bit designed to drill multiple hole sizes with a single tool. This step drill bit creates holes ranging from 1/2 inch to 1 inch in diameter in increments of 1/16 inch, eliminating the need to swap between different bits for common hole sizes. Whether you're drilling in steel or plastic, this bit delivers efficient, reliable performance for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts.

Step drill bits solve the problem of carrying and managing numerous individual drill bits by combining nine hole sizes into one compact tool. The Milwaukee #8 features engineering that minimizes jamming, reduces heat generation, and maximizes bit life—allowing you to complete more holes per battery charge and get more use from each bit before replacement.

Features and Benefits

• Dual-Flute Design: Delivers up to 2X faster hole times and improved speed and control compared to single-flute alternatives, whether drilling small or large diameter holes.
• Jam-Free Performance: The optimized geometry significantly reduces the risk of jamming, ensuring smooth operation and faster drilling cycles.
• Rapid Strike™ Tip: Specially designed tip enables quick, accurate starts while generating less heat, contributing to up to 4X longer bit life.
• Black Oxide Coating: Protective coating enhances durability, improves hole quality, and reduces heat generation during use.
• Laser-Engraved Reference Marks: Visible markings on the bit help you achieve precise drilling depths and hole sizes while working.
• Secure-Grip™ Shank: 3/8-inch three-flat shank design ensures a solid connection with the drill chuck, reducing slippage and improving control.
• Nine Progressive Sizes: Hole sizes in 1/16-inch increments from 1/2 inch to 1 inch provide versatility for plumbing, electrical work, fixture installation, and general construction tasks.
