Description of π Milwaukee Electric Tool Thunderbolt 48-89-2742
The only flexible extension where entire outer surface does not rotate. Outperforms the competition based on independent test results. This product is made of high quality material. 135 degree split point, precision start no walking. 3-Flat secure grip shank, reduces bit slipping in chuck.
This is Milwaukee, so it's not cheap; but of good to excellent quality. I used it to drill 4 holes in plastic gas bottles for vent caps (31/64 inch). Size mattered. Has worked flawlessly. So at this rate it will certainly outlive me and I have no other comment on longevity other than this. Would buy again if it helps.
This drill worked very well in cast iron until it broke in two. Guilty. Reaming a 5/8 inch hole requires a reamer, not a drill. It's not the instrument's fault, I didn't notice the difference until it was too late. Hole. The Reamer did not have such difficulties.
NOBODY IN THIS LISTING OR IN THE DESCRIPTION OR SPECIFICATIONS DISPUTES THAT THIS DRILL IS 12" LONG! ITS LENGTH (DUE TO THE PICTURE "APPEARS" DISTORTED) AND THE ANSWER RECEIVED 6 1/2" LENGTH! WHY DID NOT THE SELLER LIST "NOWHERE" THIS INFORMATION! 8" DRILL, IT IS 12" LONG!
