This is the modern version of a drill Milwaukee has been making for many years. The Hole Hawg has long been a standard in the industry, indispensable to plumbers and electricians alike, because of its very-high-torque, two-speed adjustment and its ability to fit into most tight spots when drilling through studs and top plates. Simply put, this is one of the strongest drills you can buy (people have even been known to use it as a drive motor for winding and rolling applications). The drill has both a side and a top handle. You can feel the quality of this tool when you hold it: its reinforced nylon resin casing, which is actually lighter and stronger than metal, offers terrific heat dissipation and chemical resistance. New users should be aware that, because the Hawg is typically used in heavy-duty industrial applications, its power comes with the possibility of significant kickback if a bit binds in certain situations. No question about it, though, Milwaukee's Hole Hawg is top of the line. I--Tim Block/I

MILWAWKEE HOLE-HAWG July 8, 2006

I'M AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR AND USE THE HOLE HAWG ALMOST EVERY DAY...THE ONLY OTHER ONE I'VE USED ALOT IS THE MAKITA AND THO IT'S A GOOD TOOL, THE MILWAKEE JUST SEEMS TO BE TOUGHER. I DEFINATELY RECOMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT HAS TO DO SOME SERIOUS HOLE DRILLING, ESPECIALLY BIG HOLES...BUT PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR DOING, IT'LL HURT YOU IF YOUR CARELESS.....
The strongest drill you'll ever need December 21, 2003
This drill puts others to shame. Drilling through the toughest material, this one has enough torque to get the job done, and still more to spare. The limit to what you can get done with this tool is determined not by the torque that the drill puts out, but by your own strength--when the bit binds on you, the drill will literally wrench itself out of your hands. The warning that the Amazon review gives is apt; new users should be careful with this behemoth because it has more power than you might think. Screw on the secondary, perpendicular handle to keep a hold on this monster as it bores through wood, concrete, asphalt, metal--the tool can handle it all. But can you handle the tool?

In addition to being an outstanding tool for electrical and plumbing, mine survied 3 of water. I let it dry out, cleaned up the outside and it runs like new still. The self-feed bits pull it through the heaviest 2 solid, dry, and well aged oak -- without burning the wood. And its not just for pros. Anyone who has to do electrical, plumbing, or has to drill through studs or heavy wood, will benefit from this tool.
Made my remodelling job so much easier. January 28, 2003

I had to do a pretty big remodolling project on my grandma's house (new plumbing, electrical, etc.) and this drill made to job much easier. Boring through doubled joists and top plate didn't phase this drill at all.pI do take the warning I've heard to heart though. I suspect that if one wasn't careful and let the drill bind up, it has plenty of strenght to break you wrist or mash any limbs that got caught between it and the structure.pI'd like to get more of the Milwaukee self feeding bits. I have the 2 9/16 bit and with this drill, it cuts through studs and flooing like butter.
