If you use standard, non-pilot tipped spade bits, it'll be okay up to 5/8" knowing you won't get many holes done. Bigger pilot-tipped bits are too aggressive for this drill.
That's a big maybe because the drill slows down a lot once it gets to 2/4 battery dots, letting the bits get jammed. This is a nice light-duty 3/8" drill but it won't get the job done with 2x4s and pilot-tipped (screw) spade and auger bits bigger than 5/8", though safer with 1/2" spade bits. It blew through the 2x4 in moments with both the spade and auger bits. I switched to my cheap corded Ryobi 3/8" drill, using the same pilot & auger bits, on the top plate. I'll never get the job done at this rate and will likely kill the otherwise Milwaukee nice drill. I made sure to go really slow and apply no pressure, stopping and backing out the moment the drill got stopped. I didn't even get through the first of 3 of the 2x4s (thick top plate) and the battery read 2 out of 4 battery dots. I applied zero pressure, only letting the weight of the drill do the pushing. Then, I tried the Milwaukee with a 3/4" pilot-tipped auger bit and the same thing happened. This light-duty drill wasn't up to the job to tackle drilling holes in 2x4s for electrical work. I've used dozens of drills in my life as a career engineer and also as a handyman. I backed off the moment the drill bound up. I was applying no pressure and let the pilot tip do the work.
I immediately stopped and let the drill cool down so I didn't do further damage. I could see the smoke in my headlamp in the attic. Then, the moment the spade hit, it began to bog down and smoke came out the back in seconds. The drill tapped the spade pilot tip in just fine. I put on a 3/4" pilot-tipped spade bit and began drilling through a 2x4 top plate in my house use the 1 speed setting for control/safety. I think we both have found our next brand of tools to add to our collection.I bought this combo kit and was super excited.

I feel I can fix anything myself without the worries of stripping or slipping due to the 40 Pc Shockwave Drill & Drive Set forged tip that allows for a secure grip and maximum contact. Plus, Milwaukee has always been known for its quality products and let me say.this set is made of good quality steel.
10 Bit.that's a lot of bits way more than what we had. 8 Bit, 1/8" Drill Bit, 3/8" Socket Adapter, 3/8" Magnetic Nut Driver, Insert 1/2" Socket Adapter, Hex bit 1" 3/16", Hex Bit 1" 5/32", 5/16 Magnetic Nut Driver, Shockwave Compact Magnetic Bit Holder, 1/4" Magnetic Nut Driver, Hex Bit 1" 1/8", Phillips Reduced 1" PR2 Bit, Slotted 1" No. Inside this Milwaukee 40 piece Shockwave Drill & Drive Set you will see: Hex Bit 1" 1/4", Phillips bit 2" P2 (4), Phillips bit 2" P3, 3/16" Shockwave Hex Drive Bit, Shockwave Hex Drive Bit, Phillips Bit 1" P3, Phillips Bit 1" P2, Phillips Bit 1" P1, Slotted 1" No. So once you're finished, you can place it right back in its spot within the case. and each bit is labeled with the size on it and Milwaukee signature logo. I like that it has so many sizes, a nice holder inside to keep each bit organized. However, he did say he noticed it was a little hard to remove some of the bits from the case but, that wasn't a big deal! He also said it was easy to insert them into his drill. He mentioned he really like this kit a lot since it has so many bits he didn't have already. The other day he was fixing a cabinet and used one of the bits. This bit set is a great buy, and to be honest every home should have one on hand. Now he can have this on hand, and when he's completed his task he can place each bit right back in the case. I bought this a while back for my husband since it appears every time he's looking to fix something he can't find his set.
