The Milwaukee 1854-1 Super Hole Shooter

Posted: May 03, 2011 |Comments: 0 |

When looking for a heavy-duty drill, wouldn't you prefer the one that started it all?  The Milwaukee Super Hole Shooter is what happens when you combine great power with great research and perfection, including an amazing 350 rpm, reversing 10 amp motor.  At 18 1/2" and only nineteen pounds, you will soon see why this drill is simply a must-have.

The project began in 1918 when Henry Ford (I think you know who he is) asked A. H. Peterson to create a lightweight drill for use in Ford's automobile production lines.  Before this time, you had to practically be an ape in order to use a hand-held drill, as they were very heavy.  The result of Mr. Ford's request was the original hole shooter.  It was a 1/4" light, heavy-duty, high-powered drill that only weighed five pounds!  Needless to say, Henry Ford was very pleased.

By 1930, Milwaukee Tools were implementing Navy technical standards to the manufacture of all portable tools.  In 1935, Milwaukee introduced a lightweight 3/4" electric hammer drill for drilling or setting anchors in concrete.  It was widely accepted in the industry, and was quickly followed by an even lighter model.

Then World War II happened.  The need for portable power tools in the armed forces turned the tool industry around, but especially Milwaukee.  Hole Shooters were used extensively in the building of airplanes.  The increased demand caused Milwaukee to make the product more powerful. It was also mounted and balanced more accurately, so the drill would be even smoother.  By increasing production, every individual who helped build Milwaukee Hole-Shooters was recognized as having played a vital role in winning WWII.  In fact, the Navy liked the idea of their standards being followed so much, they ordered generously from Milwaukee.

The culmination of all the blood, sweat and tears that began in 1918 is the 3/4" Super Hole Shooter.  Considered the tool man's dream, this drill has extra-long handles making it easier to make large holes while still being gentle enough to mix anything.  From being able to easily drill holes in steel with the largest bits possible, to powering grain augers or other equipment requiring portable power, this is the one tool every construction job should not be without!  With its heavy-duty aluminum alloy housing and 3/4" capacity, the Milwaukee 1854-1 Super Hole Shooter is the standard to which all other drills are compared.

    With the countless electronic devices we use everyday, it is more important now more than ever to take precautions by protecting against lightning and other electrical surges. Surge protection has become much more complex in recent years, therefore it has become much more important. Electronics have become very expensive in recent years, and have also become more vulnerable to surges produced by lightning.

    There has been a lot of talk out there about carbide vs abrasive blades, which saw is better, how long does a blade last, how many cuts before it wears out, blah, blah, blah. I'm here today to answer as many questions about how to keep your carbide blade alive the longest when using a dry-cut saw.

    The sliding compound miter saw might be a must-have item in your construction tools arsenal. A cut-above (pardon the pun) its "lesser" sisters the cut-off saw, chop saw and any miter saw without a slide, there are many reasons you might find you can't live any more without a sliding miter saw.

    When deciding on a panel saw, you should take several things into consideration before making a purchase. Efficiency of the job, amount of space the tool will take, and ease of the task are a few of those considerations.
