Review on πŸ”ͺ EZARC Carbide Cutter: Superior Stainless Cutting Tools for Precision and Efficiency by Jerry Chembola

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pilot bits currently out of date

Ok I'm a full time electrician and use this set almost every day depending on the job. The first set was used for about a month before being stolen. In that time, with normal use, I have broken 2 pilot drills in the first 6 times I have used crowns. A real hole saw is great, very sturdy and sharp. The pilot parts just aren't that great. I then ordered a new set to replace my stolen set and on the first use my assistant broke one of the guide jets drilling through the mild steel for the generator. I got mad and said I'll do it myself, grabbed a new pilot jet and broke the pilot jet on the first try. I've never had this problem with Klein, GreenLee or Lennox. I've since bought an exact size Klein set, and while it costs a little more money, I don't break the pilot bits. Now one more note. I would like to know where I can find better quality replacement bits to go with the EZARC set because real saws are pretty good. If they weren't so cheap with pilot bits this would be a great set. last minus. The case sucks and won't stay closed. It keeps opening up in my van and pouring everything out. I have to keep it locked. So in total I bought two of these and both sets had the center drill bits break off and the body could use some improvement, otherwise the hole saw cutters are actually great. We need better replacement pilot bits. UPDATE: The supplier of this kit contacted me and tried to figure out and fix the pilot bits situation. I guess I'll get some new styles to try and give feedback.

Pros
  • Hole saws and accessories
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
