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.

Absolute garbage. Do not buy.

Would Not Recommend

Wouldn’t even cut a single hole through 1/8” mild steel. The “carbide tipped” teeth just splayed out. Now it does look like a spider. What a piece of trash.

Cuts through stainless steel better then the rest

Would Recommend

I have to drill through stainless steel at lest 3 times a day every day. And this is the toughest holesaw bit i have used. This usually lasts me about a month before i need a new bit. Where as homedepots brand of holesaws dont last through 3 jobs. This is one of those few products that without question, lowes excells over homedepot.

Not worth the cost

Would Not Recommend

Used to drill holes in aluminum soffit. So dull after about 8 holes it just tore up the soffit. Save your money and buy a Lenex. Less expensive and lasts way longer.
