Hammer drills and Hole Hawgs lose their charm if you use them every day.

Glad I don't any more.

Spent just shy of two years working at Anchorage International Airport installing the C concourse baggage system.
After weeks up in a sissor lift drilling holes and bolting hangers from the ceiling, hammer drills get old.
IIRC the Bosch was the only hammer drill that survived the whole job without going in for repairs. ( our crew was a little rough on power tools  [evil] )
A conclusion is the place you got tired of thinking

If you could make holding a Hole Hawg over your head for 8 hours a day...

user friendly...

you would be awesome...

I got news for you... :P



No I got news for *you!*

I *am* awesome! [laugh]

Todays tools are a lot lighter.

But I will admit, working overhead for that long sucks balls no matter who's tool you're running.  Actually, working overhead just plain sucks.

Good tools pay for themselves many times over. 

And the Bosch products are something you can count on.

You would a thunk a huge company that puts out quality products and is always on the cutting edge of technology would be non-profit, as it were.  What a concept.

Go get yourself a Milwaukee Hole Hawg right angle drill and tell me it's lighter.  It's a beast, just like it's supposed to be.  And it's also *awsome*    ;D

They get beastier with a 3 5/8 or 4" hole saw chucked up.

A 1" auger is baby games... ;)

Hole saws suck. Period.  I used to use a 6" for running duct through the backs of cabinets, and had a few attempts at trying to go through something more substantial.    Ya gotta be tough to work construction.     ;D

I didn't have to be tough...

I was not a construction worker.

I was an eeeeelectrician. [laugh]

Lenox makes great cutters,  too bad they're hard to find here.
