Great addition to my cutting tools

Based on my experience with this clamshelled recessed installation, I must say it`s one of the best tools in the Hole Saws and Accessories category.The industrial and scientific design is excellent and it's built to last. The installation is effortless and fits perfectly. The laser marking is great and helps to achieve accurate cuts. However, it's not suitable for thin sheets. Overall this is a reliable tool to have, and I would highly recommend it to anyone..

Pros
  • Easy installation without damaging the surface
Cons
  • Difficult to use on certain materials that are too hard or brittle

Will NOT cut through a standard 5 " hole but will cut very well.

Hole saw cuts through butter like a hot knife. However, it will definitely cut a hole larger than 5 inches. If you need a 5" hole like I do, please look elsewhere. The description should state that these are 5" recessed lights (cut out a 5 3/8" hole). Perhaps the contractor cutting the 5" recessed light holes knows this. But for the layman looking for a bit that will cut the perfect 5 inch hole, that's an inaccurate description. The tool was easy to set up and worked as intended, which is why I

Pros
  • Also drywall
Cons
  • Very expensive
