02stangguy Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I don't own one and probably never will, however, if it can do what you ask of it with a clone battery, chances are it'll shine with a genuine pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
