5.0 out of 5 stars Reliability and Power to Spare!, February 11, 2002

This Milwaukee Hole Hawg is by far the best drill on the market for pure and simple day-in, day-out reliability and power. I really takes a beating, and has enough torque to twist the top off the Super Dome (well, maybe not quite)! With self-feeding bits, this drill does an exceptional job of knocking out holes for any plumbing or electrical rough-in. I've dropped it, it's been rained on, bounced around in the back of a truck, and otherwise subjected to the "normal" job site wear n' tear, and it continues to perform flawlessly. The only negative word I might utter is that it is heavy. Holding this guy over your head for the day can get old. But a small price to pay for the power and reliability this tool offers.

I purchased this drill to help build my new home and it has been a real work horse. Forget about the half inch drill, when you want to go through wood, this is the real thing. Throw a self feeding bit on the front and hold on tight. This cuts holes as big as you want fast. Just pray that your dentist never gets ahold of one of these....

As a plumbing contractor for 25 years we started using this model when it first came out in the early 80's. Compact, quick and powerful. We tried the makita copy of the milwaukee when it came out in the late 80's but it had a clutch that activated too easily, so you couldn't finish a tough hole with it. Very frustrating with the Makita. the Milwaukee has no clutch so you have to be careful about the torque. We throw away both the t handle and pipe handle extensions as we have never used them. The trick to controlling the torque is to snuggle up to the drill and keep it close to your body. That way if it jams your body soaks up the torque not just your arms. Also, we drill large holes [toilet flanges etc.] on high speed using hole saws. The drill has less torgue to whack you with at high speed. We wear them out mostly drilling toilet flanges when they jam on deep cuts, resulting in gear rebuilds, but it takes several years of brutal use to get to that point. very compact for the power.
