Excellent quality heavy duty hole saw

Received from Revain seller for only $1 plus approx $5 postage and couldn't be happier. This is a very powerful hole saw of excellent quality. What I liked most about this hole saw was that I could attach it to the drive system in a variety of ways. The hole saw has what appears to be a 3/8 inch pipe threaded hole in the center of the base.

In the final configuration I was able to extend the assembly to a total length of 50 feet using 5 sections of 3/4 inch PVC pipe to remove any tree roots along the entire length. expiry length. My situation was unique and this hole saw handled it perfectly. But I think this hole saw is also great for any traditional hole drilling.
