Good, but not great

Here's the thing; When I use the two dowels that fit the hole saw, it wobbles and makes an ugly hole. I've found that I get better results lowering the saw onto the thread from below, but then it's harder to remove. So yes, everything is fine.

Pros
  • Cuts stainless and mild steel, nailed wood and plastic
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

It works as advertised. the only downside is.

It works as advertised. The only downside is that the bit is too short for my hole saw set. I bought this to replace my kit which is a Deep Drill Kit (Blue Boar). No length was specified for this drill and it was found to be too short. So I had to replace the actual nozzle, but other than that the mandrel looks well made and should hold up to my work.

Pros
  • Alloy steel body set screw for pilot drill replacement.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
