Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an electrician and have used Milwaukee power tools since 1978. I've watched the line of old hole hawgs do some amazing things in the past, as well as some frightening things (breaking wrists, knocking men off ladders, locked bits twisting the handles and ripping through 2x4's). Up until now I've avoided them like the plague. Two years ago my plumber bought one of these new super hawgs (after years of the old dangerous ones) and liked it so much he bought 3 more for his small crew. He showed it to me, I lifted it up and put it down, telling him I couldn't possibly use this tool overhead every day.
Today this same plumber brought the same (very used) drill to have me use on my totaly remodeled house (I'm playing his helper to save $). I laughed and said I'd try it, but no promises. Although only 5 pounds heavier than my usual right angle drills, it seems heavier than the advertised 15 pounds and more awkward to carry and use than my right angles, possibly because I had no idea it comes with a side handle (not offered to me today). Key for the chuck poorly designed - needs to be deeper to clear head (little things get to me, sorry). Put various sized hole saws and self-feed bits on it and away I went.
Holy crap. Dull as most of his bits were (aren't all contractors bits shot?), this damn drill was flying through everything I touched. Self-feed bits chewed so fast through 2" stock I was peppered with wood shavings. Hole saws - dull ones at that - cut through wood like styrofoam. One hole was a bit slow in cutting until I realized I had the drill in reverse, and it had been going faster through the board than would my own right angle drill in forward!
I braced myself, keeping hands and head positioned for kickbacks that never happened. Not once did I hear the safety clutch kick in or did I experience even one kickback. All day drilling and not one kickback, not even when I abused the drill grinding out angled holes that surely would have thrown me off my ladder with my other Milwaukee. I was laughing all day, saying over and over "I can't believe this tool"..."Did you see how fast I drilled that hole?" The drill's rotating speed is so fast the hole saws never "grab" on initial full contact with wood like my drill does. Your fingers never act as the bumper once the drill exits through the wood like when using my right angle. Tight stud bays were no harder to get at than with my right angle Milwaukee, too. Although heavy, just lift it like you mean it and the tool does the rest.
My plumber even used this to drill out my shower/tub valve holes. I held my breath while he simply squatted, rested the huge drill on his knees and used his body as a drill press to delicately slice through the 1/8" fiberglass as if using an Exacto knife.
My 23+ year old right angle had trouble the other day drilling 1 1/4" through 50 year old douglas fir floor joists (new bit, too), and I thought, well, time for a new right angle. My plumber offered me his hawg to use for a few days, as he has spares. No need, because guess what I'm buying online tonight? In a couple days I'll be in Super Hawg heaven, despite turning 53 with a torn rotator cuff.
