> 3 dayI ordered this because I needed to cut a bunch of 2.25-inch holes into a 1/2 plywood. After cutting the first hole the cutout was stuck in the saw. I had to disassemble the whole thing and smash it on the ground to get the wood out of the saw. The next time I tried cutting from the top and then I tried to finish by cutting the other side of the board. Again it got stuck and I still cant get the wood out. After all this effort I ended up going to home depot and got myself a Milwaukee single-hole saw and it cost as much as this entire set, but I was able to cut out 10 more holes in the time it took me to get one drilled with this set. Cheaper is not always better. This saw cannot access the underside or remove the cut wood. It also doesnt seem to cut in a way to create space for the wood to come out. Really I dont understand what this would be good for.

> 3 dayTried drilling a hole in 1/4 inch wood. Product fails. Tried with another one. Product fails again. Amazon wants to charge me $7.99 to return this $18.00 purchase just to add insult to injury. Absolutely disgusting quality.

Greater than one weekDont count on this to cut a hole in a precise location, or to have the hole cleanly cut, as the drill bit doesnt necessarily center the round cutting blade - if you can get the round cutting blade to even seat upon that bit at all. The first hole blade I tried to use wouldnt seat because its cutout hole was off center. It is unusable. The second one I tried could be bolted on, but wouldnt turn evenly in the drill. Instead it wobbled back and forth even when it was properly tightened in a drill that could handle every other bit its ever taken. But that was sufficient for cutting the hole I needed at that moment. I dont know if any of the other hole bits will work for my purposes. This was certainly inexpensive - and if your expectations are low, it may work for you. Its definitely NOT High Precision (as advertised.) For a birdhouse hole, a bird probably wont care if its off-kilter. But if youre cutting a hole where it matters, you might want to spend a little more and go with something better.

Greater than one weekMetal is too thin and bends. Used the 2.5 to make a hole in 1 plywood and saw shank bent making the saw teeth not flat against the board. Then the shank ripped through the flat portions that keep the saw from rotating around the shank, becoming useless. I didnt even finish the first hole I was cutting. Next up I tried putting the drill bit in the small arbor to use the 1 hole saw. The set screw sticks out enough to interfere with the locking nut making everything uneven and unbalanced. Totally useless.

> 3 dayIm confused on the negative comments. For the price, what do you want? Ive probably have two or three of these drill sets over the years. Why I keep losing them I have no idea, but this set is every bit as good or better. I had a lot of holes to cut and the first cut was as smooth as the last. As a suggestion, dont ever smoke them. Take your time cutting the holes, pulling out the blade and blowing out the sawdust a few times. Takes a few seconds more but a lot less wear and tear. I have no problem with the quality.

> 3 dayThey provide a drill bit to help you line up. The drill bit works well in the larger mandrel, but does not fit the smaller one. The fastener sticks out too much and this causes the hole saw to skew as it sits on the mandrel <See the picture; note the small black bump on the left side above the threading>. Tightening the collar only helps a small bit. The skew is noticeable and causes oscillations while drilling. I emailed customer support about this, and they did not reply. I was going to bug them again but by then I had missed the return window. Buy your tools from someone else.

> 3 dayThere are no directions for first time users. They are not very sharp so took quite a while to get through the wood. Leaves the wood very chipped around the hole. I am not experienced enough to know if thats normal. It came quickly from the seller.

> 3 daySo I bought this product - gasp - to drill holes. There are two shanks, one of which is for the larger saws, and one for the smaller saws. The larger one works okay. The smaller one is utter and complete, well, fertilizer. So the way it works is this: the little drill bit has an indentation on it. You stick the drill bit into the shank, and then tighten down a little allen screw to hold the drill bit in. But the allen screw isnt flush to the surface of the shank. This leads to two problems. The first is that the allen screw is softer than a babys bottom. Any pressure at all and it just strips out. The second problem is that you cant slide the saw down over the shank when the allen screw is protruding. So what you end up with is a drill that you can only barely make work, if at all. Its garbage. Utter and complete garbage. I tried to think of ways to get around the problem and I managed to make the holes I needed. Its really not well suited for the kind of plastic I had to drill into - it seemed to actually melt the plastic and bunch it up around the edge. That was easily fixed with a file, so that one is just a lesson learned. But the fact that it has zero durability and is pretty much unfit for purpose is a deal breaker. Im probably going to order a better set and run over this one with a truck. With this kind of durability, no way will it damage the tires.

> 3 dayI hardly ever leave reviews, but I was so disappointed in this product that I felt compelled to warn others in this case. Upon opening, the inside of the packaging was dirty and looked used. The drill bit snapped within 60 seconds of use on a pre-drilled hole and the actual hole cutters were so useless that it was actually smoking and burning the wood before it actually cut it. I ended up just going to home depot to buy a craftsman set since I needed the job done, and that one did in 30 second what it took these about 10 minutes to do. Dont even bother with this set.
