Good product !. I’m happy for the result . I thought it won’t work because it was a thick wood. I would recommend this!

I have used two bits several times on thick plastic and plywood. They cut holes, as clean as you let them. Start slow, apply steady pressure and I’m sure you will agree. There are absolutely better hole saws out there, but for the price I am well satisfied. These are clearly for home projects and crafts. I would not want to use these often. I seriously doubt these would go through a metal door for example.

Worked as intended. No instructions, but pretty obvious how to put it together.

I bought this and two caps because I was running wires through walls for my TV, Apple TV, Bose home theater TV bar. My wife hates seeing wires go from the top of our fireplace to the TV. So I had to put the wires through the wall and I had to be careful with it to make sure it was clean and tight. Without these drills you wind up cutting weird looking holes and no cap will fit into the hole to cover it up. So these are required. You can also use these to cut holes in wood desks to accomplish the same task with plugs and cables.

For a product like this you rarely use it. I wanted holes in my desktop to hide my computer wires. I have a cheap power drill and it worked, but a better quality drill is going to be needed if you need to drill a bunch of holes. To drill four holes it was a strain. The bits held up pretty well considering they were going through hard wood and the laminate on both sides about three quarters of an inch thick. You have to drill slowly so the sawdust cleans out as you go. It took probably 10-15 minutes for four holes. I would probably consider these disposable because by the fourth hole it was slow progress. I suspect the bits were beginning to dull. At the price it wouldn't be worth resharpening, but they did the job I needed.

To use this on a 2x4 you drill one side, find the hole that pokes through on the other side, and drill through from there. It's a bit wobbly, but it cuts well enough (but be sure to get the drill VERY tight on the shaft- you really need a bench vise- and tighten between sides). HOWEVER- it ends up falling short by maybe1/8'', so you have to get a skinny screwdriver or small chisel and break the wood "donut" out. Not all that difficult to do, but it's hard to imagine why they didn't make the drills a wee bit deeper- then it would drill through neatly, no fooling around poking the wood out.

I use the large 17 gallon heavy duty Mainstays plastic tubs with rope handles as planters and I couldn't poke large enough holes in them to drain properly--plus the ground they are sitting on in the courtyard is clayish and plugged them so my plants weren't able to drain. Solution: this tool. What I did was make about 12 holes an inch from the bottom above the ground near the base of the tubs so that they can drain out the bottom sides of the tubs. Problem solved. Note: if you try to drill holes in an empty tub, you should only drill bottom holes. Drilling side holes in an empty tub will crack the plastic. However, if you already have the planter packed with soil, you can easily drill side holes so you have your choice-- drill bottom if tub is empty, drill at bottom on sides just above ground level if filled with soil.

Bought this to fix the previous plumbers laziness. Had to poke a hole though a 2x4 then 1/2" osb and as all home improvement projects go just a sliver of floor joist. Mounted the size I needed chucked it up on the trusty 20v lithium drill and let it eat. Cut through the 2x4 like butter. Once I got to the osb we were making heat like jet engine exhaust. Pop through the osb and find that edge of the joist and that's when the going gets tough. See between the osb and 2x4 I had some high quality 1997 era linoleum, super heated linoleum makes it near impossible to remove the slug you just cut. This is where I have issues with the tool, everything prior is my fault and the previous guy who took the easy road. I took the saw off the chuck, mind you its somewhere between 150 and the surface of the sun in temp. Once I clear the mess and go back at it the nut will not stay tight, had to let it chill on the window sill here in the December midwest to finish the job. Overall it worked, 2nd hole was just osb so that was a walk in the park. For what you pay it does well.
