Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the cutting performance through tough materials like stainless steel, cast iron, and thick wood, with many highlighting rapid plug ejection and sustained sharpness across multiple holes. The heavy-duty construction and depth capability earn consistent commendation for professional-grade quality. However, some report durability concerns including carbide teeth splaying or premature bit breakage, and a few experienced pilot bit failure or difficulty removing plugs. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a reliable, high-performing tool that delivers strong value.

Others are better
Did not hold up as well as other brands. Used for metal tube notching.
Cheap junk
Would Not RecommendOk, material being notched: 1 3/4 D.O.M .095 thickness. For the record myself and the fabrication company I work for both prefer to use the Lenox hole saws, typically 1 hole saw last 1-2 weeks. This junk wasn't even able to make it through 1 complete notch. Don't waist your money or time on the "spyder hole saw"
Keep looking
Would Not RecommendLasted for 2 cuts then teeth rounded off.

nice quality, holds up well, easy bore ejection
Would RecommendPicked up an 8 hole set. The Carbide is very nice in holding edge for boring wood and soft Al. I like that the core easy to eject on the set provided the slots and ability to remove center bit aids this. Overall a nice set especially if picked up on sale.
