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!!!

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!

While traditional bi-metal hole saws still have their place in certain applications, for rough holes in framing members 3-tooth carbide hole saws, such as these Milwaukee Big Hawgs, can’t be beat.As a residential electrical contractor, boring holes in wood framing members is something I do most days – some days, much of the day. For many years, self-feed bits were the only real option to the professional for larger holes. While they also provide for rapid boring, one good nail strike and they require costly sharpening. They also require a lot of drill. The Big Hawgs, were they are only cutting the kerf of the saw out, require a lot less drill, making them ideal, with today’s cordless job. This 2-1/8″ model is literally a 3-4 sec. hole through 2x pine framing, with any of my 18v drills.Again, these are designed for rapid large holes through framing and other construction materials, and excel at it. If you require a more refined hole, or are drilling through thin, brittle material – such as vinyl siding – a traditional hole saw is what you seek.

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 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.

4 in. Big Hawg Carbide Hole SawThis is a really nice saw blade. The carbide seems to last very long and the three blade configuration is a definite advantage over traditional saw blade. The reason is two part. First the three blades have a huge relief area for the chips to go into. This means less cleaning of the hole out while drilling. Second the space between the blades is flat and set a small distance below the blade. This means the saw remains level in the cutting hole and the blades are always cutting the proper depth of material. This is a very clever design. See the pictures and video.

Look forward to the new innovations that Milwaukee puts into their new versions of old products. When you are a seasoned tradesman you realize the innovation that goes into these upgraded tools. With the bigger hole bits you have to be concerned with your battery power and this bit works well and stays sharp. I am really happy with the innovation and the results of this product! Thanks!
