Milwaukee 49-22-4185 All Purpose Professional Ice Hardened Hole Saw Kit 28 Piece

These things rock but I had quite a time getting going. I needed to cut 4 holes in 1 3/4 inch depth of ply. A couple of notes 1) you cant tell from the pic but the bits are not 1/4 hex, they are 9/16 or some odd size..... good luck finding an adaptor to get these working with a regular 1/4 hex driver. First I tried a hex nut to make the connection but it was too wobbly. The Dewalt chuck adaptor for the 1/4 hex didnt work either (too small and it sucks) and there doesnt appear to be an adaptor for s4s max either....... hmmm, surely something I have out there will run these things...... finally I pulled out an old dewalt drill that had a big enough chuck to hold the bits and I was off to the races. 2) Do the chuck up tight! 3) Make sure you are holding the damn drill with both hands, nice and strong, things can get wild with the bigger hole cutters and they can lock up really suddenly if you shove too hard or drop sideways, giving the drill and your arm a good twist. I found that the drills cut a nice clean circle in laminate without chewing the edges, which was pleasing. Overall great tool.

I saw the smaller kits with 10 and 18 bits at Home Depot in a cheap thin plastic container. So I went on to Amazon and saw this one with a much nicer box. Well the pictures are inaccurate. It seems the images shown in the product description with the rectangular box is the old product version. The new packaging is the same for all Milwaukee hole saw bits, just a very poorly designed flimsy plastic box. Mine came with all parts strewn about the box, instructions ripped and plastic pegs broken (see picture). Although this box is grossly under designed, the early reviews indicate the previous box had its own issues. My take, the product itself is great! Just get a packout to store it all and move along.

I ordered this kit due to needing a couple different sized hole saw cutters to put in some dead bolts. I had purchased Milwaukee cutters prior to this but just purchased the individual cutter for the job at hand. I did decide to buy the 28 piece kit because I liked the idea of having all my cutters in 1 easy container to carry to a job and believe this kit will contain every cutter I will ever need. It does. It has every cutter size I needed and probably ever will need. The container is well built and appealing. I didnt know how the drive system to the cutters had changed since I purchased my last individual cutter. The new system has threads in the base of the cutter with 2 pins that are threaded into the cutter from the drive shaft that holds the drill bit. This is the best system Ive seen. I also believe these cutters will take many cuts through metal or wood before beginning to dull. Its a lot of money but its probably the last hole saw kit you will ever need unless you use them daily. Im very satisfied with this kit.

I bought this set of hole saws last year. For years I’ve maintained an incomplete and ever expanding mixed bag of Milwaukee , Bosch etc. saws of varying sizes and quality it I decided it was time for a more complete, not to mention sharper set and an arbor that worked. This set has satisfied me and even rose above the quality that hoped for. Not all the Milwaukee tools I’ve owned recently have impressed me, the quality like most has tapered off in the last two decades. These hole saws were a pleasant surprise. Well designed arbors, a big enough slot in the side of the saws to insert a screwdriver to remove the plug and most amazing is a box that is big enough that you don’t have to puzzle over exactly which saw stacks in which pile. Top it off with several extra 1/4” pilot bits, Allen wrenches to adjust or remove them. I use them for drilling woods, hard and soft, lots of aluminum and yesterday, which convinced me to review them, a Stainless Steel water tank with the 2” bit. Highly recommended.

The packaging they use is cheap and terrible not worthy to hold the hole saws

cuts good holes

Use Milwaukee bits in the past the one that you see on the description of amazon. Love that set. This seems to be close but in a smaller case with a cheaper lock on the box so well give it a shot cuz it seems to take up less space in my van.

I bought this set so I could quit going to Lowes and buying holes saws one by one. I finally had a reason to use this just yesterday. I needed to drill a 4 holes on some 2x12. The canter arbors are beefy and well built. They easily locked into the saw and locked into my drill. I am using a Dewalt 20V drill. I started drilling and as soon as the saw hit the wood, it bound and whipped the drill handle into the wall. Not what I was expecting. most of my other hole saws are Dewalt and do not have this problems. Once I got the saw really working - several bangs into the wall and having my hand forcefully spun around due to the binding - it worked well. The hole it made was smooth and nice. The wood puck as very easy to get out of the saw. The teeth showed little of no wear after 5 holes. Were it not for the binding, I would have given them 5 starts across the board.

I’m consistently very happy with Milwaukee Tools quality and this set is no exception.

Amazon stands behind the products That are sold on there site Very satisfied!!!
