A “rough-in” is the installation of essential services in a building — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and the like. It involves a lot of drilling holes in tight spaces, particularly between studs and joists, where a traditional drill won’t fit. A right angle drill is what tradepeople turn to in these situations, but the utility of such a tool goes far beyond rough-ins. You can find out for yourself now with this great right angle drill from a legacy tool brand that’s on sale for less than half its normal price right now.

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hole Hawg 1/2-Inch Right Angle Drill is on sale for $222 at Walmart, 63% off its normal $598 price tag. It’s a deeply unserious name for a serious tool, one that doesn’t come with a battery but is compatible with any Milwaukee M18 batteries you already have or can easily add to your Walmart order.

This drill has a small head that can fit into tight spaces. One hand holds the main handle and works the trigger, while the other holds an ergonomic top handle directly behind the head. Combined with the fact that this is the lightest right angle drill in its class, it makes this drill supremely easy to maneuver. It features an upgraded motor for consistent power under heavy load and battery-saving tech that means you can drill hundreds of holes on a single charge (depending on the battery). Switching bits is easy with the 1/2-inch keyed chuck, and an onboard LED light illuminates the work area.

One shopper called this tool a “great product” and a “great value.”
