This kit ships with two 4.0 Ah battery packs. While a majority of the holes were in single framing members, 20% or so were made in multiple laminated members.įor those that argue they will be charging batteries all day I’d say you’re likely wrong. The holes were drilled in mostly spruce framing lumber, and some holes were drilled in engineered joist webs and LVL beams. I didn’t count the individual holes but based on the length of the walls on the project I’d estimate somewhere between 250 and 350 holes in total. With both battery packs fully charged I was able to do the entire rough-in of the 2,000 sf space with 2 bars of power still left in the 2nd battery pack. I was very impressed with the run time of the 4.0 Ah XC battery packs. It’s hard to imagine a cordless tool performing these type of drilling tasks with ease but the M18 Hole Hawg powers through as if it had an invisible cord attached! I was able to drill 7/8″ auger bits through multiple studs (in one situation 5 studs with a 18″ long bit) with ease and no signs of the tool straining to finish the task. The M18 FUEL Hole Hawg easily drills through framing lumber including engineered beams. The project consists of approximately 2,000 sq feet of new walls, electrical and plumbing so the project gave me ample time to test the Hole Hawg’s performance and run time. I also has the opportunity over the last couple of months to get some hands on time with this new tool while wiring a finished basement project I have going on at home. At the Media Event we tested them against each other and the M18 cordless Hole Hawg consistently beat it’s corded brother in speed even when drilling through multiple layers of framing lumber. When I first saw this new tool at the Milwaukee Media Event last Summer I was a bit skeptical until I had a chance to test it side-by-side with the Milwaukee corded version.
