I have the digital one, way better than the crap I had before. also has a relief valve for dropping pressure easier after your tires have warmed up.

EDIT: Here's a bit of background on the Hole Hawg...
More commonly, it smashes your hand into the wall unless you are really alert and loosen your grip as soon as it binds.
One summer I was wiring a custom home, a McMansion with about 7000 sq. feet of floor space and drilling sets of 3 all thru out the house thru the 2x4s
It was about 100 degrees out all the time and even hotter inside, especially on the upper floors, so I was wearing shorts. The auger tends to get very hot and when carrying the Hole Hawg to the next room to be drilled, the user tends to carry it at their side as it is heavy. The result is that the hot auger rubs against your bare leg and leaves burns.
I had a bunch of little burn marks all over my calfs that summer from running the Hole Hawg and drilling thousands of holes and carrying it from one room to the next while wearing shorts.
I smashed my knuckles a few times but learned quickly to loosen my grip ASAP when it binds, but I knew better then to put my face near the damn thing, even in tight spaces as if it binded it would smack you in the jaw.
Everyone who has ever used a Hole Hawg for wiring a house has smashed their hands/knuckles or has gotten smacked in the face when it binds.
That thing probably puts out more torque then a lot of ricers.sigpic

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, I love mine. It comes in handy for the odd rust delete and a bunch of other random tasks the E30 presents.
However, I just picked up a RotoZip this weekend. Holy shit. I went for the "top of the line" model with all the attachments for $149, and DAMN. The thing is an awesome tool. I'll be using this thing for all sorts of crap. Blows the Dremel out of the water.

Guess they aren't made for drilling a 1" spade bit through 3" of wood.
