  1. Ok so in case anyone wants to know I got the 12.0 battery and it’s night and day. This thing blows through wood with ease using a dull 2 9/16 bit . Even with the big 12.0 battery it’s still super compact compared to the super hawg. I also put the 12.0 on my m18 drill and the thing will drill the 2 9/16 bit on hi speed! Before with my XX battery it would hardly make it through on low speed. The battery is awesome. So it the hole hawg.
  2. This might sound crazy but hear me out and give me your opinion . Do you think that Milwaukee would be able to open up a m18 hole hawg and swap out the gears it it with a different ratio to give it more torque? From my understanding the only difference between the super hawg and hole hog are that the super hawg has a low and hi gear. They use the same motor from my understanding. So do you think Milwaukee could remove the gears from the hole hawg and install gears with the same ratio as the super hawgs low gear?
  3. Hey everyone. New to the forums. Just bought a m18 hole hawg the other day and I’d like to get some opinions on it. I’m a plumber and will be using the tool to rough in homes. My hope is that the drill can handle a 2 9/16 self feeding bit. I know it’s rated for up to a 2” self feeding bit but I’m wondering if I put the 12.0 battery on it do you think I can drill a 2 9/16 with it? I figured I’d give the hole hawg a shot before getting the super hawg. I don’t need to drill anything over 2 9/16 so if it can do that then great but if not it looks like I have to get the super hawg
  4. Hey everyone. New to the forum. Looking for some I for on the m18 hole hawg. I just picked one up the other day and I’m not sure how I feel about it so far. I bought a knockoff 9.0 battery to go along with it and I’m beginning to think that was a mistake. The battery had 1 bar out of the box. Put it on the hawg and drilled about 6 holes with a 2 1/8 self feeding switch blade bit. It drilled it through 2x pine no problem. Next day I charged the battery all the way and drilled a few more holes. The power was just the same with a full battery vs a battery with 1 bar. Next thing I know the tool wouldn’t work any more. Turns out the battery crapped out on me. I’m returning it and getting a actual Milwaukee 6.0 high output battery. Based on the power the tool had with the 9.0 im a little skeptical of its power. All I want it to be able to drill 2 9/16 self feeding bits with it. Im a plumber and will use it to rough houses. I figured I was taking a risk buying the hole hawg over the super hawg but it’s so smaller and compact so I figured I’d give it a go. So with the 6.0 and sharp bits do you think the drill can feed a 2 9/16 bit or am I going to have to bite the bullet and get the super hawg? Also I’d like to hear some pros and cons if you own one as well. Thanks
  5. Hey everyone. New to the forum. I need some advice and help making a decision. I’m in the market for a cordless right angle drill. I do plumbing rough ins and currently use a corded super hawg for my bigger self feeding bits. Most common bits I use are 2 1/8 and 2 9/16. I’ve been reading a lot about the m18 hole hawg and super hawg. Milwaukee advertises that the hole hawg does up to 2” self feeding bits. Although they say up to 2” has anyone tried a 2 9/16 bit? I’m sure it could drill it. I have the m18 fuel hammer drill and it will drill the 2 9/16. Just looking for someone who Has actually used it . I’d love to be able to get the hole hawg over the super hawg due to price and size. Also I would only be using it with the 9.0 battery. So can the hole hawg consistently drill a 2 9/16 self feeding bit or do I just have to get the super hawg? Im not worried about drilling anything bigger than a 2 9/16
