Well built and does its job.

This product is durable and does the job well. You really feel the weight when you use it. My only suggestion is to just make sure you tighten the nut well before making any notches with the device. When I first used it, I just hand tightened the nut and it came loose. That's my fault, not necessarily the design of the product. A 3/4" wrench is required to tighten the nut, although a small swivel bar will also work. I would advise including a bar or a small cheap wrench in the kit to tighten it

Pros
  • Power & Hand Tools
Cons
  • Doubtful

Expensive but works well.

Works well but item arrives damaged. Production was informed and a return was offered. In any case, since the frame is not in the bed, damage will occur, resulting in scratches and dents. We had a few chips in the powder coating. It is very easy to use, but the easiest way is with a second assistant. The drill needs to have high speed, and this thing saves a lot of time when making cutouts for air ducts. Would recommend even if you're only planning on making a few cuts. The cutting result isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Power tool parts and accessories
Cons
  • Out of style

Drill bit to prevent breakage

All in all a great tool. Ideal for round holes in sheet metal ducts. But I broke off the first piece at my second 26 gauge channel hole. Forty holes later (6 to 12 inches) I'm still using the second drill bit. The trick was to use a screwdriver and drill combo. I switched the drill to screwdriver mode and reduced the torque to minimum (1 on my drill). It cuts just as fast as before, but as soon as the bit for some reason binds instead of breaking, the torque clutch disengages and the bit stopsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hole saws
Cons
  • No power
