An awesome drill motor!
By Karla A. Boughton
I have been building my own house for the past four months. I have sub contracted some of the trades but electrical I did myself. An electrician friend of mine helped me lay things out and got me started. He also gave me some great advice when he told me to buy a hole hawg. Equipped with a ship auger bit, you can drill out an entire wall in the time it would take you to drill one stud with a 3/8" drill and a spade bit. This drill is very heavy and obviously well made. It has all kinds of power even in the high range. When you shift it into low range you have to be careful you don't injure yourself if the drill bit binds and the drill kicks back. They don't call it the wrist breaker for no reason!
I judge tools based not on appearance but on productivity and usefulness. I work a full time job on top of building a house, and my time on the job site has to be efficiently spent because I don't have a lot of it. This tool made doing the electrical work possible because it allowed me to get a LOT of work done in a short period of time. I'd still be drilling holes for my home runs had I scrimped and used my 3/8" or even 1/2" hole shooter. The bottom line is Time = Money, and this drill is a time saving work horse. I highly recommend it to any one who has a lot of holes to drill. It is a high quality piece of machinery.

Tremendous piece of machinery, I love it!!! I had my first one for 10 years, it didn't breaksomeone wanted it more than I did I guess. After losing my first one I went searching andstarted to research all the 1/2 drills I could put my hands on, after trying several friendsand fellow contractors drills I am right back at the Hole Hawg. Well worth the price,while Milwaukee may have let their standards slip in other areas I believe they have left well enough alone with this guaranteed winner. This tool can power a 3 1/2" feeder bit through 3~ 2x6s like it was nothing. I use it for all my major drilling projects, I do not bother breaking my right angle drill out for most jobs now. I recommend it to anyone who has to do any prolonged drilling.

By A. Chong
I vaguely remember using those new fangled pistol grip drills forsomething, along with first some spade bits, then some auger bits.I got tired of waiting for batteries to recharge, so I got someselfeed bits, and then drills started breaking and chucks started wobbling.I picked up a hole hawg for a song. I looked like it hadbeen drug behind a truck and then used in the yard for a while. Thehandles were missing, the cord was shot, but it ran.After drilling umpteen holes for PEX tubing in joists, it'sstill running with no problems, new handles, and a new cord.It's been lent to friends, even the ones that already own new fangled28V XRPM super titanium wireless LED cordless drills.This is a quality tool. The aluminum holes on mine are even helicoiled.There isn't a hint of wobble in the big jacobs chuck after allthe abuse it's been through. All the same, milwaukee makesreplacement parts cheap and easy. My Milwaukee drills are theones that have never needed switch or chuck replacements.This is a heavy tool. You're not going to use it to shoot drywallscrews on the ceiling. You could, but you're a girly man.This can be a dangerous tool. everyone has at least one storyabout that new guy that got spun around and around 3 stories upoff the scaffold.Remember to never never use the high torque (low) setting without apipe (it takes 3/4 steel threaded pipe) BRACED against something.If it isn't braced, its going to turn around, smack everything inits path, and pin the smackee against the next solid object.Remember to hold it so that it will pull away from you, especiallywhen you use it in low without a brace.
