> 24 hourMost of the top brand name hole saws can be expensive, especially when you buy them individually. This one worked well for the application I was using it for and didnt break the bank. I would purchase from this brand again.

> 24 hourJust needed a 2 3/4 hole saw at a reasonable price and this did the trick. I tested it on wood and my project was with plastic. I cant speak to how well it works on metal, or to on its longevity.

> 24 hourI got the 6” version specifically for cutting holes on ceiling drywall for mounting LED downlights. It did the job, but I didn’t use the arbor that came with the saw. As far as I can tell visually, this hole saw is made by welding an 18-gauge steel saw blade onto a ¼”-thick circular back plate (see attached photo). A thick back plate provides needed rigidity, but ¼” steel is a bit too thick in my opinion; it makes the hole saw noticeably heavy. This hole saw includes an arbor that didn’t work very well. I have other hole saws made by Starrett and Milwaukee. Arbors made by those companies have a threaded center with two protruding tabs, one on each side of center. The tabs are what drive the hole saw. The arbor included with this hole saw doesn’t have tabs (see attached photo). To install, you simply screw the arbor into the saw. As the hole saw is being used, the arbor tightens against the saw continuously. This makes arbor removal extremely difficult when finished. The Starett and Milwaukee arbors don’t have this problem. For cutting drywall, I like to start the hole saw backwards to prevent drywall tearing. Running the saw backward is not possible using the included arbor because the arbor will just unscrew from the hole saw. Fortunately, both the Starrett and Milwaukee arbor can be mounted and used on this hole saw without problems. Although this hole saw doesn’t look like it’s made from the highest quality material or using the best workmanship, I think it’s more than adequate for occasional non-professional use. It certainly does what I got it for. I just don’t use the arbor included with the saw.

> 24 hourI normally prefer Lennox brand hole saws, but I couldn’t find them in the size I needed. This one does work. Size wise it’s perfect. Quality wise, it’s more Harbor Freight. I.e., don’t expect it to last a life time, but it’ll get the job done. There was a bit more smoking and a bit less cutting action than I would’ve liked. But for the price, that’s expected. One thing I neglected to consider was the depth/length of the hole saw. This one *barely* was sufficient for my needs. They should’ve increased the size a bit, so you could drill through thicker materials.

> 24 hourIt was inexpensive and thought Id try it to cut some holes through my Husky tool box for some pc fans... and it worked! I was skeptical but it did work. 2 holes total and teeth still feel sharp, they may have dulled slightly but Im sure it could cut another.

> 24 hourI bought this specifically for one job...I need one clean hole in my flat sheetmetal dashboard for my new speedometer. Says right there that it is suited for sheetmetal. it is, it turned out, suitable to score the steel, and to heat it up, and to warp it and to turn it into trash. Oh, I was patient and I kept the surface oiled but...
