Milwaukee Delivers The Next Generation Of Right Angle Drilling For Electrical Rough-In

Milwaukee Tool continues to deliver disruptive innovation with the introduction of the next generation of right angle drill performance for electrical rough-in – the M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG Right Angle Drill. Designed from the ground up with an upgraded POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, improved REDLINK PLUS electronics, and REDLITHIUM HIGH-OUTPUT Batteries, the new M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG has the power to provide electricians and professional tradesmen with the fastest rough-ins and lightest right angle drill in the industry.

“Professional trades have relied on right angle drills from Milwaukee since the introduction of the original HOLE HAWG in the 1970s,” says Mayela Schoonover, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “When we launched our cordless HOLE HAWG in 2014, it was the first cordless solution of its kind. As groundbreaking as that tool was, our leadership in cordless technology has progressed to a point that we can now deliver an even more powerful solution for users which offers increased capability for a full corded replacement. With this incredible power, our newest M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG provides electricians and professional tradesmen with all the benefits of a completely cordless rough-in process without sacrificing overall size and weight.”

While the new M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG looks like its predecessor, the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor has been upgraded to deliver more power in high speed applications. The tool’s REDLINK PLUS Electronics have also been optimized to increase power under load and increased capacity without bogging down. When equipped with Milwaukee’s M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT XC6.0 Battery, the M18 FUEL HOLE HAWG can drill up to (220) 7/8” holes in SPF lumber on a single charge; increasing productivity and eliminating downtime.

In addition, the 2808 model will still feature a QUIK-LOK Chuck to offer keyless and more efficient one-handed bit changes for most 7/16” flat or groove shank bits commonly found on augers, self-feed bits, and hole saws. The second generation of the M18 FUEL Hole Hawg Right Angle Drill is optimized for electricians, while a second generation of the M18 FUEL Super Hawg, which is optimized for plumbers, was introduced in the Fall of 2019.

Milwaukee is committed to improving productivity by providing performance-driven and trade-focused solutions so users can perform an entire day’s work on one battery system. This new tool is part of the M18 System, now offering more than 200 power tool solutions.

*M18 FUEL is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivaled performance, all M18 FUEL products feature three Milwaukee-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M18 FUEL tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
