Angle or Hole Hawg - Page 2 - Plumbing Zone

I use the Dewalt timberwolf. It has a clutch that keeps me from giving it the name I gave my old Hole Hawg, The Mangler.

What?

The operator runs the bit into nails, not the drill. The drill isn't in control. You are!

And if you're not... maybe you should find another line of work. Something nice and safe.

and is dangerous to try and control while trying to "Shape and Shave".

I don't agree at all. Maybe it's not the best drill for idiot newbs, but for a pro it's the best thing I've used since the Hole Hawg.

So that was you using the hole hog when we were using the Timberwolf?

Nice comment for the internet.nothing you world say if I was standing in front if you.
With a sharp bit you are going into a nail.
Are your bits sharp?Or are you pushing smokers.

And out here your going to run into hardware nails the fraimers shoot through MST's with the guns.You don't get second chances,one tap and your on the pneumatic die grider.

I used a Hole Hawg, my guys had to use a right angle drill. Hole Hawgs can be real dangerous for plumbers because our bits are larger.

My bits are razor sharp. They get sharpened several times a day when I'm roughing in.

Ya, I chop up lots of nails. So what? Comes with the territory. Frickin gun nailers pepper the wood full of them. I use a 4-1/2" grinder for sharpening - fast and easy.

So What?
So O/K,You don't mind hitting regular gun nails and you use a grinder to sharpen multiple times.
The high carbon nails they use here won't make your day get any better.
I used the Super Hawg at least 8 years ago,maybe ten.I don't like them,many do.You like em too....

Good

I use a Milwaukee hole-hawg. Its my favorite. Its a mans drill though, it will smack you if you're not careful.

I have to say I would put drtyhands up against any plumber on this site. I've watched him in action and walked a residential project he did which was north of $20,000,000. He is one guy I really enjoy working with.
