DEWALT Hole Saw Kit, 14-Piece, Includes 2 Quick Change Mandrels and Pilot Point Bits (D180005)

Works

I bought this set whben I was replacing all the doors in my house and drilling for lock sets. The tool is what you would expect from DeWalt... good quality.

I have had this in my wish list for a while, and when I saw it on sale for about 30% off I jumped! What a great set. The materials are top notch (as expected from DeWalt). The case keeps everything in place really well. Very, very happy!

Nice clean holes. No binding.

Quality.

Edit:Thanks to Pedantic Aussie, below, for pointing out that most centering bits on hole cutters have a hex bolt on the side to adjust the length of the bit.I already sold my set to my friend but a quick call confirmed that this set does in fact have adjustable centering bits.So I am an idiot and have adjusted my rating to be in accordance with my friends satisfaction with the set and now I just feel bad for making a crappy original review.Original review:I needed a hole cutter set and I have always appreciated Dewalt's quality.The centering drill bits don't extend past the cutting edge of the circle saw teeth, so its VERY difficult to keep the cutter from walking. Kind of irritating. I am trying to figure out a way to work around this but so far they're just gathering dust on my shelf right now.

Used DEWALT hole saws for years, have had the least amount of issues with their release systems.Appearance and Quality (4 out of 5)Nice high contrast yellow, will quickly strip off exposing underlying metal with decent use. The case itself is actually quite nice, and keeps all the bits fairly snug with minimal rattling. These are bi-metal bits so I wouldn't recommend this for everyday or contractor use.Price (5 out of 5)I feel with the quality and performance of this product the price is well worth it.NOTE: As long as you keeps the parts free of debris when you connect them you shouldn't have much issue getting them apart again. This seems to be the biggest issue with hole sales in general.TL;DR Excellent product, will buy again, would recommend to a friend.

I'm super impressed with this kit. I've been using cheap kits all my life and though I'd treat myself and get this... what a difference this is. I wish I'd been using quality earlier.Other than the great cutting, I love the mechanism that locks the saw into the bit - it eliminates any chance of it slipping and coming undone. This is what has annoyed me the most about the cheap kits.It's not exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for in tools. If you want something that will last, won't be frustrated with and likely save you time, pay the extra and get this.
