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 13/16 in. Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter — 3" Cutting Depth, 1/2" Shank

The Milwaukee Steel Hawg 13/16 in. Carbide Tipped Hole Cutter is built to power through framing lumber, plywood, and composite panels with precision and lasting edge life. Featuring carbide-tipped teeth, this hole cutter stays sharper longer than traditional steel cutters, delivering consistently clean, accurate holes in demanding job-site conditions.

Designed for serious professionals and seasoned DIYers alike, this hole cutter combines a compact 3" overall length with a 13/16" diameter and a 1/2" shank, enabling deep, precise cuts in thick materials without frequent tool changes. The carbide tips reduce wandering and tear-out, helping you punch through studs, joists, and other wood members with less effort and fewer passes.

Key benefits in practical use:

  • Carbide-tipped edges for extended life and sharpness, even when cutting through tough lumber and plywood.
  • 3" cutting length provides deeper reach for through-stud openings and cabinetry work without needing multiple passes.
  • 13/16" diameter creates standard, precise openings ideal for electrical, plumbing, or venting needs.
  • 1/2" shank fits a wide range of common drill chucks and increases compatibility with standard drill setups.
  • Durable, reliable performance from the Steel Hawg family, designed to withstand repeated heavy-use applications on/pro in construction environments.

Who should consider this hole cutter? Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC installers who frequently need clean, accurate holes through wood framing, as well as carpenters and serious DIYers tackling doorways, pass-throughs, or conduit routes. It excels in situations where a shallow, rough-cut hole would slow a project; with this cutter, you get fast material removal and a neat aperture ready for fasteners, conduits, or hardware.

Tips for best results: use a steady drilling speed appropriate for wood, apply light pressure to prevent overheating of the carbide tips, and let the tool do the work to achieve a clean edge with minimal tear-out. This cutter is optimized for wood-based materials and is a dependable choice when you need a reliable, long-lasting hole Cutter that won’t quit before the job is done.

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.
