Milwaukee 49-22-4029 Tool HOLE DOZER Bi-Metal Hole Saw Set (17-Piece) with Case

I’ve owned this item before and it worked great. I haven’t used this particular item yet but there seems to be a user error problem that’s making for bad reviews. Let me just say, this is NOT a drill bit. These are hole saws! Using a saw is different then using a drill. When sawing anything you must let the saw do the work instead of forcing the tool into material. When using these hole saws the initial starting of the hole rotate the saw slightly as if you are rolling a ball on the floor in a circle, another example is rotation should be similar to making a dough ball the size of a grapefruit. If you push these saw blades into material using force you WILL get most of the same results most of the bad reviews are talking about. So first rotate slightly making room for the saw teeth to remove material, then gently walk the saws back and forth until you slowly cut through the material. Remember using a hand saw to cut a straight line through a 2x4? Well that’s what is happening with these holes saws with regard to speed. Slow and steady and be smart. Avoid binding, avoid rushing, avoid force! Hope this helps.

First off these hole saws are sharp and work exactly like you hope they would from a premium brand. They are also designed in a wat that allows the puck of wood to come out fairly easy. The carrying case leaves a lot to be desired as the posts that the hole saw sit on are movable and do not stay in place well. There is also the issue of cost as these are quite expensive. Overall a great product and great for professional use. The average home owner could probably get by with a cheaper product.

They work they actually last awhile I was shocked.

They say it’s a 17 piece but they actually send the 13 piece mine like everyone else is stating came looking used but I actually believe it’s just the shipping overall decent since I got it on sale

the hole Saws aew sharp and high quality but the case really needs redesigned. its pretty useless

These dozer sets typically come in real crappy cases. The photo attached to this listing showed a significantly different case which was molded and thicker and better made. This case was the same junk cases as sold at Home Depot so I returned because it was not as pictured and I wanted a better case. That being said these particular items by Milwaukee in general are very good and the only ones I use

Packaging came a little messed up and everything in the box was unorganized but it was easy to fix and put together how I liked

Out of the box some of the welds on these hole saws were sloppy, with bumps on the exterior that might bind; a few of the teeth were protruding outward, generally at the seam where the saw was welded, which would cause the saw to not track well and make an oversize hole; and some of the whole saw bodies were out of round. It took me about thirty minutes to grind and tap them into a better approximation of round whole saws. That done, I wouldnt trust these for precisely sized holes (which they arent really designed for anyway), but they now work fine for rougher holes. The quick release on the arbor is nice for the larger saws. No quick release on the smaller arbor. The set comes with a couple extra drills, which is nice. They are are just loose in the box with no dedicated space to store them, which is not nice. There is an empty space in the box where the not included 1-3/4 hole saw is designed to go. Whats up with that? Overall, quite poor quality control on manufacture, and a box that doesnt fit the tools supplied, and has space for a hole saw that is not supplied. Works ok after fixing them, but why buy a tool set that needs work to clean up the manufacturers mistakes? Unless perhaps there are no better ones....

This was exactly what I wanted and more. It is well built and had more sizes than I needed. The arbor fit perfectly into the key hole saws. The saws made nice clean cuts in wood and sheet rock. I highly recommend this item and the vendor shipped sooner than expected.
