I used the corded hole hawg while drilling large holes while working as a plumbing apprentice, saved my wrists and fingers from serious damage during kickbacks. almost broke a finger and wrist in my first month using a regular drill to make holes in 2 studs. The clutch control on these drills saves the most important assets to us tradespeople, our hands. Well worth the investment for sure!
That is any insane tool. Super cool !!!!! The technology in the 30 years I have been on the job has changed so much. The new kids in there 20's coming in to the trades have excellent charges to pick from. My Milwaukee corded are older USA made tools, dinosaurs by today's tools,. But still pack a real punch. Thanks Vince, nice job !!!!
Those are an awsome drills we have a couple in each of the vans it’s great we can drill almost all day roughing houses putting. Conduit in they have enough power
I've used it, and even just the m18 Hole Hawg is amazing. If I plummed full time, I'd consider switching platforms just to have that tool- as my tools kick the bucket of course. Cool video guys!!
Yes if it catches the drill clutches out chuck stops spinning sounds like a ratchet just release trigger and go again This drill is very smooth compared to corded counterpart and I have really haven't had it catch on me
I use my super hawg for drilling 8 inch ice holes when ice fishing in northern British Columbia. Love this tool, I also use it for the intended purpose of drilling into dimensional lumber to rough in plumbing. Love you tool videos buddy.
Im going to try and dig fence post holes with the super hawg and an 8” auger lol. If it doesn’t work Ill give up on life haha. Do you think it will work and should I start with like a 4” auger first then follow it up with the 8” auger?? Im getting too old to dig by hand and I dont have the time for it.
I still have in old Milwaukee Sawzall with the metal box that came from my grandpa. I also have that came from my grandpa a Milwaukee sheetrock gun it also has a metal box
We still have about a dozen Milwaukee tools that are in their original metal boxes. (And several other brands of power tool in their metal boxes.) I hate metal boxes as much as I do the canvas bags. Plastic is king. All the metal boxes are rusted out, have pulling paint, are dented, bent/misaligned, etc.
@@Fee.1 the metal box 4 the Milwaukee Sawzall is pretty beat up so is the saw. However the Box for the sheetrock gun is in pretty decent shape and did sheetrock gun is in excellent condition I had posted is she Rod and Gun with the Box on offer up the four and there was a lot of interest in the Box there was Zero interest in the drill. Everybody wanted to buy the box but not the Drew and I kept telling them is a package deal because really I would like to sell the drill and keep the box. LOL. I would not use the box for storing my tools as it is intended to I would just put it up on the Shelf I might put something in it or something I don't know but probably not but either way I wouldn't be using it as a tool box pretty much more of a Decor item
Damn I just started getting a new channel a few days ago. Did a security camera job last night and this is exactly what I needed. Move the washer and I needed to go in the wall straight down and nothing I knew at the time could do it. Thank you for this video and I am now subscribed with the bell
I was just gifted one of these after burning up two drills on a site. Drilling through 3 2x4 ceiling plates (190) per floor on a 6 story apartment build. Excited to see its damage output!
Great presentation Vince. I got mine as a bare tool and use it with a 12.0. I also got the keyed chuck because there's times I use bits that are not a 7/16 hex. I love it and can't wait to see a TTR with this thing
I got the quick loc chuck on both of my holehogs regular and super. Then I built a keyed chuck on a short 7/16 extension. Did another one for a 1/4 inch bit adapter to a short 7/16 extension. Now I can use any drill bit or accessory I want, including my 5 and 6 foot 1/4 inch wall bits. I bought plastic waffle balls ($4 for 2) to keep the drill bits centered in the wall.
@@lorenrickey5481 how can you connect the hole hawg to an 8” earth auger for drilling fence post holes? I want to use the hole hawg for mixing mortar and self leveler. I bought the m18 rotohammer for that but it turns off a lot and Im thinking of upgrading to the hole hawg. Thank you
@@Trucker-Belly check out the Makita XGD01Z 36V (18V X2) LXT® Brushless Earth Auger, Tool Only and 327687-6 Earth Auger Bit Adapter and E-07369 8" Earth Auger Drill Bit. Don’t know much about this tool and setup, but it might be what you’re looking for??
@@lorenrickey5481 thanks for the info. I dont normally do fences. I used to but now I do mostly tile and bathroom remodels. I bought the Milwaukee rotohammer (the smaller one)to be used as a mixer but it fails me when I need it the most. I also drill a lot of holes in wood and the super hawg would do that and mix mortar. Im thinking of using it to dig my fence posts lol. I ordered an adapter for the drill chuck to auger bit. I hope it works bc Im all in!
Hey Vince, there's a video made by Milwaukee for the interduction of this drill showing a clutch operation in low gear with a large self feed bit stopping this tool when it jams.
I love my Super Hawg, makes plumbing so much easier compared to just the regular hole hawg. That quik lock makes switching bits easy. Easily my best investment in Milwaukee to date.
We get the 2-3/8 and 2-9/16 Switchblades by the case because we go through lots of em drilling through 7-1/2” to 7-3/4” creosote soaked oak crossing planks
Love my regular sized M18 Hole Hawg with Big Hawg bits. Focusing all that speed and torque on those 3 small carbide teeth is a winning combo imo instead of spinning heavy selfeed bits to make shavings. First thing to come off is the handle. Unnecessary.
Looks awesome and I bet it will work great for years in a studio environment. My plumber buddy has the first gen super hawg with the quick look and he has nothing but problems with it getting jammed and not releasing bits or not getting to the reset position to insert a new bit. I've seen him throw it across the room on multiple occasions out of frustration! I have the classic Jacobs Chuck version and it works like a charm.ill get the gen 2 but stick with the Jacobs Chuck.
I've got a cordless Hole Hawg and Super Hole Hawg, and corded Hole Hawg, and they all have Jacobs chucks. Clean the schmutz out once in a while and put a drop oil on each jaw and they just keep on tickin'.
We have one of these for each truck, they are a beast. Bad thing is my coworkers use the batteries up and don’t bother to charge them, then come steal my personal batteries next time they want to use it. 😡😡 nothing can compare to the super hawg, but it sure does get heavy quick when you have to use it above head.
That Quik Lok looks like an improvement over their regular collets. Wonder if it's possible to have Quik Lok in 1/4 ? Although it looks like the bit cut outs are different on Quik Lok.
I thought the difference between the Hole Hawg and the Super Hawg WAS the clutch. The cordless Hole Hawg is no slouch either, and much smaller form factor (similar to a corded Hole Hawg) but definitely a wrist breaker to the uninitiated.
The Super HH does have a clutch in LO range. It's also substantially larger, heavier, and more powerful than the Hole Hawg. I have both and give first hand experience.
If your hole saws or arbors get damaged, Milwaukee will replace them. Had my small arbor and 1 1/8th not want to come apart and they are sending both new. This is what sets Milwaukee apart from the competition.
I like the bags, cause they are universal. The boxes are molded for whatever tool that came with it. I especially prefer the bags now that my tools stay in packout boxes.
VINCE. JUSTIN WILSON. MY HEART. Dear god the man was amazing, reality tv? Give me a break, that man turned cooking shows into a vacation and a comedy routine all at once. I had the pleasure to meet him a couple times as a kid. here in New Orleans we’d cross paths with our celebrated chef’s fairly often, otherwise why celebrate them. But Justin Wilson was so fascinating. You learned as much history/socially/etc. and got a few language lessons in every episode and next thing you know he’s like “and if you like cooked meals, I’ve got one waiting right here just so you don’t have to wait, so smash the like button. 😂” You know he’d be on RU-vid if he was around. If you have a business address you don’t mind sharing and want some famous Cafe Du Monde beignet mix or anything from here in New Orleans for you or the missus, say the word. I can’t even express what thinking of Justin and seeing his face just did to me...I lost my mom in April and I was her caretaker through my entire adult life practically, so despite a decade of Parkinson’s I wasn’t at all prepared. I’ve been lucky enough to not know grieving like this before, but I just had a purely happy memory no grief because I’m not used to her being “past tense” only, just joy and of watching Louisiana Cookin’ or Cajun Cookin with my parents (it was as much comedy as cooking). If you made it this far, thanks literally set the tone for my evening by just seeing that photo and ...just wow and thanks, Wild how a random tiny thing can impact someone massively. For anyone unfamiliar with the legend himself: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eK4umRMJlrs.html
Any power tool tips for weeds in a place like New Orleans where it’s always summer ? I bought a flamethrower but it wasn’t the right kind, I need napalm apparently or a “drop torch” style that drops fuel onto the vegetation. Trying to Kill weeds that give me the middle finger by sprouting through brick is going to be the end of me. Nothing works well on Jumanji Jungle weeds.
I want everything millwaukee has I have an addiction for tools bad and what’s really bad is I’m 15 and my addiction has started early. Millwaukee should just sponser me and give me evey tool they have😂😂
Southerpride you are not alone. You are amongst a whole lot of "tool junkies "on this channel! Bad thing is--some of us are senior tool junkies . Milwaukee tortures us with temptation to no end!
Why do we have adjustable chucks anymore? Most drill bits are 1/4 drive, SDS style, or this thing now. Feels like we keep them around just for the old guys with antique drill bits now
Milwaukee needs to make a stubby quick change adapter instead of just longer extensions. That way we can have the full quick change ability on our corded drills and can use all of the quick change bits in tighter spots without having to periodically use the keyed chuck.
I will say this. The Very Cool “I will say this” Gang says “I will say this” a lot and if you like the Very Cool “I will say this” Gang saying “I will say this” then smash that like button for more “I will say this”.
Residential plumber here. Compared to the corded counterpart, this thing gets its ass kicked. As soon as you have to drill through a 2×4 that's full of knots, it keeps cutting out. And in low, in doesnt spin fast enough
I am fully in support of cordless tools. Dragging a cord around sucks. But in my opinion, they have a LONG way to go until their cordless hole hawg is anywhere near the corded version
Honestly I have several t- handle 18v drills that I have drilled these size holes and even larger using the same style bits, while I agree it is impressive, even my 17 year old R8411503 could do these holes back then with its original nicd batteries, (Which admittedly had me most impressed back then also) and still can even better now with larger capacity lithium ones. (Although this can get in between studs easier to say the least.) I was hoping to see a real test like with a 8" or 12" ground auger.
