Using this product from the Hole Saws & Accessories category in Cutting Tools, our team found that it cut through the hardest surfaces like a hot knife through butter. The saw is built well and has a long lifespan. It fits perfectly in any drill for precise cutting. It is an investment in your toolbox for any DIY or professional project. However, it may be slightly pricey compared to other alternatives on the market, but considering its build quality and efficiency, it's absolutely worth it.
Pros
Durable and long-lasting due to the hardened material.
Cons
Difficult to work with for those without the proper tools or experience.
Terrible design. These drill presses are designed for use with different sizes of pilot drill bits. Wouldn't it be easier to have one pilot drill that fits all drill sizes from this brand? A saw for a pilot drill seems such a waste of money just for the sake of profit?
Bought this to fill in some sizing gaps for my Milwaukee 13 piece general purpose hole saw set. This was from the same line so it worked great with the gazebos in this set. Did exactly what I needed when drilling my door for a new cylinder lock, along with the 1-3/8" hole saw bit that came with the kit. Can't comment on how it works in metal as I've only used wooden doors. It was perfect for that.
Pros
Deep flutes for quick chip removal and functional slot geometry for easy plug removal
