Note for purchase, you need a Milwaukee 49-56-9305 arbor which is sold separately. Milwaukee’s saw blades have always held up for me longer than other brands. I know that they will hold up well and I won’t have an issue with it. This blade is no exception. I was able to easily cut through 2 different materials, one that I knew was littered with nails. This didn’t burn out and I’m confident will do the job on many more projects.

I bought this 4 1/4 size to complete my Milwaukee Big Hawg hole saw kit and have a saw for installing 4 inch pipe. The hole saw easily cut through two 16 penny nails driven into a pressure treated 2×12 so it definitely cuts nails as advertised. This is the most aggressive hole saw I have ever used.

The Big Hawg is becoming the Go To Hole Saw. As my others wear-out i will be replacing them with the Hawg. It works great in plaster ceilings when cutting in lights and boxes. Need a longer pilot bit, and a little pricey. Hopefully will last much longer than traditional Hole Saws.

Used this to cut holes in “support wood” over a drop ceiling for led lights. Worked great and made the task go quickly. I have 25 more holes to do so that was a great tool for this job…

These new Milwaukee Big Hawg hole saws are nasty they will drill thru wood like butter, I tried mine out on a 2×4 and it went thru it in just a few seconds. I didn’t know what to expect with it only having 3 teeth but let me tell you it is a flat out monster! The carbide teeth on it are razor sharp and will make quick work of any job and the large gullets make ejecting chips faster and also when you go to pull the plug you drilled out the large gullets make it super easy! This only comes with the hole saw, you have to buy the arbor separate and I know they recommend arbor Model # 49-56-9305, however they did not have this in my store and I was eager to try this hole saw so I bought arbor model number Model # 49-56-7250 and it works great with the Big Hawg hole saw, I really like how it is a tool free removable arbor that is a great feature. I definitely recommend these hole saws they are monsters!

2-1/8 in. Milwaukee Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw is for fast hole cutting in wood even with nails embedded in the wood. Each Hawg bit is rated for cutting 1000 nails. This is a very aggressive fast cutting hole saw that leaves reasonable smooth holes in the wood. This is a rough-cut hole saw and will not replace a fine-tooth hole saw, when very smooth holes are needed as in finish or cabinet work. This is the actual cutting head and you will need the typical one-inch arbor that holds replaceable pilot bits. At a slow speed this cuts fast and cuts with-out any resistance when cutting nails. At 1500 RPMs your wrist will tell you when you hit a nail. The Hawg cuts through nails without any visible damage to the three thick carbide teeth. This is an excellent fast cutting large bore hole cutter. Photos show evidence of an embedded nail in the stud prior to installing a whole house vac pipe. Wood plugs drop out easily compared to other hole saws and easily drills holes up to; 2 7/16 deep. Another fine product from Milwaukee.

I have a couple of the other sizes of these hole saws, and this Milwaukee 2-3/4 in. Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw is one tough carbide toothed hole saw! These things are built Milwaukee tough, not like those cheap imported tin-metal hole saws you see everywhere for dirt cheap prices. These are great for contractors or the casual DYI homeowner. You will need the separate mandrel if you don’t already have it, but it fits all these Big Hawg saws. It too is one serious piece of equipment and well worth the cost. I love Milwaukee tools, and own many of their products, and trust them to always make tools that last many years. Thanks Milwaukee, and Home Depot!

As a plumber, when i rough in a house I need tools that are going to work day after day that work well and without breaking down. For years I’ve used Big Hawg holesaws and I have never been let down. In rough plumbing there are always hidden things that must be drilled through whether it’s drywall screws that you didn’t see or a jumble of nails that simply can’t be removed or even piles of old cement plaster that are inside the walls or joists. I grab the BigHawg holesaw and go. It is of superior quality. There is no other holesaw on the market made to this high standard. As soon as I drill a few holes in “impossible” materials the other trades on the job want to know what I’m using and where they can get a set. Get a set, you won’t be disappointed!!!

This is another of those products that takes a SawzAll and a half stick of dynamite to get it out of the packaging, which is really, really annoying (I dinged it one star for that). Other than that, the carbide tips are thick and sharp and can probably be sharpened several times if one had the capability of doing that. It takes a standard arbor, which anyone who regularly uses hole saws should have (as opposed to a Freud/Diablo hole saw I recently purchased, which only accepts a Freud arbor), and it is fairly deep–a full two inches even after accounting for the arbor protrusion. If you are new to large hole saws and have a powerful 1/2″ drill (all of the arbors for this size hole saw require a 1/2″ drill, unless you can find an adapter somewhere), start your cut slowly to minimize binding or you are likely to end up with a sprained wrist. Once the teeth are buried in the hole, binding is less likely as long as you keep the saw straight.

Much needed addition for plumbing large diameter sewage pipes. Heavy but durable. Worked great with Milwaukee Super Hawg.
