Milwaukee tools just can’t be beat. This Big Hawk Carbide Hole Saw did the trick in cutting holes through the framing studs making it easier to cut holes for the new electrical and cable lines in a new structure. The cuts are fast and smooth. It does take someone with good strength to use it and after one attempt I turned it over to one of the guys to use (I am a small woman) and I watched. The electrician loved it and plans to replace his with this one. I haven’t used it on anything that had nails to cut through yet, but based on its performance on the 2″ studs, I am certain it will work well.

Cuts through Hardi Board very well, doesn’t cut OSB as well as wood hole saw.

Yea Baby – That’s what I’m talking about! This Big Hawg Carbide Hole Saw can cut some holes! I have to say I was skeptical at first just by looking at the design – but the first hole made me a believer. I have a bunch of hole saws – the ones with the finer teeth – but on larger holes they just seem to take forever and clearing them is a pain. I cannot say enough about how impressed I was – and I have cut some holes in my day. At first I was going to chuck this up in the Milwaukee Hole Hawg – a beast that you really need to be careful with – but decided to use my 18 volt Milwaukee drill instead. Watch the attached video and you be the judge. As for me, I will be using the Big Dog Hawgs going forward. Thank you Milwaukee!

I waited a while to write a review on this hole saw from Milwaukee because I wanted to see the results of it in real world testing. I install electrical conduit and use hole saws everyday. I used the 3″ carbide toothed saw to cut through metal, plywood, 2×8’s and such. The real test was to make multiple cuts one after the other through a commercial roof, rubber membrane, tar, steel , wood and foam insulation. The big hawg hole saw never slowed Down even with a 12″ extension attached to it. I don’t have a picture of it because it would not do it justice. I will be getting more of them I the future.

I love all of the Milwaukee products and the big hawg carbide teeth did not disappoint. Was able to cut off nails easily and no problems at all. When I was cutting out holes I did not notice and jagged edges. I had to make a cut into plywood and this went into the wood fairly quickly. Using my drill the saw felt very solid with hardly any vibration. Very high quality and a real time saver.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

I have been a big fan of Milwaukee for a long, long time. So I have been a bit dismayed that they moved their production overseas. A couple of recent tools have been short of my expectations. But, overall they do still seem to distribute a great product. This “Hole Saw”, is reminiscent of their production standards of awhile back. Mind you, they still produce good stuff. Their product control standards are in place. But I digress, this “Hole Saw” weighs in at a whopping 2 Lbs packaged, this is a saw not for a small drill, so again my Milwaukee Hawg angled drill will power this saw through walls. Solid and impressive Hole Saw, still a fan.
