Milwaukee SHOCKWAVE Impact Duty Lineman's Auger Bit – 13/16" x 18" (48-13-6707)
The Milwaukee 48-13-6707 SHOCKWAVE™ Impact Duty Lineman's Auger Bit is engineered specifically for power utility linemen who need cleaner, faster holes in wooden utility poles. The single spur design scores the edge of the hole for a cleaner finish that lets bolts slide through without resistance. A reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating reduces friction for smoother drilling and easier bit removal, while the aggressive feed screw and cutting edge pull the bit through the material. The optimized wide flute geometry rapidly ejects chips to keep the hole clear and maintain drilling speed.
Note: Recommended for clean wood only.

Frequently Asked Questions
What diameter and length is the 48-13-6707?
The bit is 13/16" in diameter and 18" in overall length, with a 15" useable cutting depth and flute length.
What shank does this auger bit use?
The 48-13-6707 uses a 7/16" hex shank for quick connection into 7/16" quick-connect impact driver chucks.
What is the PTFE coating for?
The reinforced anti-friction PTFE coating reduces friction during drilling for smoother operation and makes it significantly easier to remove the bit from the pole after drilling.
Can this bit be used on treated or old utility poles?
This bit is recommended for clean wood only. Treated, weathered, or contaminated wood may affect performance and bit life.
What makes this bit faster than standard auger bits?
The combination of an aggressive feed screw, optimized wide flute geometry for rapid chip ejection, and PTFE coating work together to reduce clogs and friction — resulting in faster overall drilling speeds.
