    So technically speaking the hawg is weaker in torque than the 2704 which would explain the release of the super hawg, but form factor allows you to be more ballsy with a hawg

    That link is for the super hawg, not the regular hole hawg

    Well I am super impressed with this drill! I think this just became my favorite Milwaukee tool! Spent 2 days now roughing in a 3000sq ft home and this drill didn't skip a beat. There is definitely a power difference with the 9.0 and to be honest I don't think I'd like it with 5.0's for power and runtime tho. In 2 days and about 90% of the house drilled out I used 2.5 batteries. It sound great but if u watch videos from when the hole hawg first came out with the 4 or 5.0 batteries a Milwaukee rep claimed that u could drill out a 2500 on one charge, I don't see that.  So going into it I guess I expected more runtime from the 9.0 but now looking back I think it did good for the amount of work we did.

    i was also right about the convenience of the tool. It actually feels heavier than I thought it would but it's still light enough to one hand it and bit changes are so easy that I hardly ever picked up my hammer drill for a missed hole etc. and that was my goal with this thing so I'm happy. I even let my boss spend some time with it today and he liked it so much he's ordering one for himself!

    Well just playing around with it the quik lok doesn't seem perfect.  When u insert a bit it goes in too far if that makes sense which leaves the locking mechanism partially disengaged.  For a positive lock it needs to stay in the middle but easily pushes past that point.  The bit is still locked in tho. I don't know if it'll be an issue or not but we'll see. Here's a video I found, you'll see the guy push the bit in all the way but if u look close you'll see the locking collar doesn't pop up all the way into the locked position. It's still locked in just not in the sweet spot.

    Well got my hole hawg today with quik lok chuck and 9.0 batteries so I figured I'd add to my thread as I use it and let u guys know what I think of it.

    initial impressions: just pulling the trigger this thing feels powerful! I actually first threw the 9.0 in my hammer drill and put it to a stump with an 18" auger and I will say the power increase from a 5.0 to the 9.0 is noticeable. Tried out the hole hawg next and it powered thru the stump no problem. The rpm's  are slower but its definitely more powerful so I'm happy. 

    The kit also came with a huge bag that I feel like I can fit 4 or 5 hole hawgs in but I have a smaller bag that came with my sawzall that I'll probably use.

    the 9.0 batteries actually don't seem as big as I thought they were and feel pretty light to me. One thing I noticed tho when charging was that the rapid charger was making a buzzing noise and getting pretty hot.

    i have a new house to start roughing in tomorrow so I'll post more as I use it.

    Not sure if it's a Milwaukee deal or just hd. I wonder if hd goofed up cuz the kit with 5.0 batteries shows for the same price and the keyed chuck kit with 9.0 shows for 549 but is sold out. Either way I couldn't resist so I bought one and free home delivery says it'll be here tomorrow!

    The m18 fuel 1-1/8 SDS plus has 3.3ft-lb, and the sds max has 5.1ft-lb impact energy.  The 3.5J impact energy from the dewalt above comes out to 2.6ft-lb which is decent but not anything special.

    Thanks for sharing that, I've been looking at these but never noticed the ft lbs vs joules. I was just looking at the numbers and thought they were all pretty much the same

    I haven't read this thread thru so I don't know if this helps or not but for drilling small holes, even some larger, I just use my impact. It's just so much smaller and so easy to change bits. It has more than enough power for small holes that it doesn't even impact while drilling.
