Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
WOW!!! What a Ride!
"HAH! but ya missed the tool purchase thrad..."who cares!
whats a hole hog?
I didn't do it....the buck does NOT stop here.
hole hawg is a really powerful 1/2 drill made by Milwaukee, it has a low 300 RPM motor that we use for mixing mud stucco in 5 gal. buckets.
I bet we could get an answer to that in the WHAT TOOL DID YOU BUY TODAY thread, they are pretty good about answering Q's about products.

Hole hawg, oh yeah. Got mine for drilling 3" holes in an old house for blow-in insulation (prior to installing hardiplank over top of the old stuff) and since then I use it for mixing wall texture in 5 gal buckets. I had an Sears 1/2" drill that was really just a little 3/8" drill with a half in chuck on it; my wife bought it for me for Xmas, bless her heart, -- I think I got her cured of buying me tools (that's got an upside AND a downside) -- but I burned it up after a couple years mixing texture out of drywall mud and water.
But the hole-hawg eats that kind of job for breakfast and doesn't break a sweat.

I know what a hole hog is , i have two kicking about, my favorite use for them is to spin buckets i am trying to hold still that are full of joint compound, second favorite use is breaking wrists when working for a plumber.

A hole hawg is an amusement ride at construction sites. Manufactured by Milwaukee, maker of fine cheesecake calenders and a variety of red tools. You straddle a 5-foot step ladder and start drilling a 4.5" hole for the toilet drain pipe.
When the drill bit jams, there's more than enough torque to twist you right off the ladder and spin you around.
If you're new to this and not sure how much you'd like the ride (and this is a serious suggestion:) Plug the cord in loosely and with not much slack - i.e. use a distant outlet. This limits the number of turns you will make as the cord wraps around you. It will unplug sooner the less slack you leave.David Thomas Overlooking Cook Inlet in Kenai, Alaska

can be used as a temporary replacement if your truck engine dies
I'm only half kidding about that- the thing has a TON of power
It probably makes more torque than some 4 cyl. cars
we use to take soil samples with one, hook to a six foot auger
It's a tool you use to humble cocky helpers.Who Dares Wins.
A friend picked up a PC DW sander setup for $350, about two hours used. I didnt have the money at the time. But he hung on to it, has absolutely no use for ever drywalling, and when the time came (last week) I grabbed it. Pretty easy since I've been borrowing it ever since he bought it. SCORE!
