In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Milwaukee Steel Hawg 11/16 in. Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter is engineered for metalwork that demands precision, durability, and fewer tool changes. With an 11/16" diameter and an overall length of 3 inches, this cutter is designed to tackle through-holes in tough materials while fitting standard drill chucks thanks to a 1/2" shank.

Key features that make it stand out

  • Carbide-tipped teeth provide enhanced wear resistance for longer life when cutting through metal, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Steel Hawg construction built for demanding job-site use, delivering stable performance and cleaner holes in metal panels and components.
  • Compact 3" length offers deeper reach in confined spaces while maintaining control and stability during cutting.
  • 1/2" shank ensures compatibility with a wide range of power drills and drivers, enabling quick setup on the job.
  • Single-piece package includes one hole cutter, ideal for replacing worn bits or outfitting new projects with a reliable tool.

Ideal applications and use cases

  • Creating precise 11/16" through-holes in metal enclosures, panels, and brackets for electrical or mechanical installations.
  • Metal fabrication tasks where durability and hole accuracy are critical, such as HVAC components, control boxes, and metal framing.
  • Renovation or construction projects involving metal surfaces that require consistent hole size and clean edges.

Performance tips for best results

  • Mark the center clearly and start cutting with a steady, low-to-moderate speed to prevent wandering and heat buildup.
  • Use a light lubrication or cutting oil when cutting tougher metals to reduce friction and extend tooth life.
  • Maintain firm, even pressure and let the carbide teeth do the work; avoid forceful pushes that can cause chatter.

Why choose the Milwaukee Steel Hawg over standard hole cutters? The carbide-tipped design delivers longer edge life and consistent hole quality in metal, which translates to fewer bit changes on busy job sites and more productive days. The 11/16" diameter targets common pass-through sizes while the 3" length provides practical depth in a compact form factor, all anchored by a reliable 1/2" shank for broad drill compatibility.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
