One of the most relied upon tools nearly every plumber is going to have in their arsenal is some form of Milwaukee SUPER HAWG or powerful right angle drill. Last year Milwaukee launched the M18 Hole Hawgs which are the little brothers of the new M18 SUPER HAWG. The M18 Hole Hawg is ideal for electricians which can power through a self-feed bits up to 2” and up to 1200 RPM. For the plumber however 2” isn’t going to cut it. Starting in October the 2 speed M18 SUPER HAWGs, 2709-22 ($549) with ½” chuck or 2711-22 ($549) with Quik-Lok 7/16” hex chuck will be launching.
The new SUPER HAWGS is very similar design to the Hole Hawg but with a much beefier head that houses the 2 speed gear box. High speed 0-950 RPM is ideal for smaller hole making similar to the Hole Hawg however shift into low gear 0-350 RPM and 6” holes in wood become an easy task. A mechanical clutch also engages in low gear to protect the tool and the user. The head is very similar (we might even guess it could share some parts) to the tried and true corded SUPER HAWG 1680-21 ($349).
“When we launched the award-winning M18 FUEL Hole Hawg last year that is optimized for Electrical applications, we promised to deliver an innovative solution that is optimized for larger diameter hole drilling in the near future,” says Cole Conrad, Sr. Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “One year later, we are excited to not only keep that promise, but offer a solution that will completely eliminate the need to use generators and extension cords on the jobsite for Plumbers & HVAC professionals alike.”
These new cordless kits will include the M18 5.0Ah batteries and is estimated to get about 75 holes using a 2-9/16” bit through 2×4” wood. These are pretty impressive stats in our book and in our short time with the tool we really think the feel and performance makes the cordless tool the way to go.
