This is a great way to have a complete set for drilling holes. It is such a random thing to need, but it is something that pops up. I have a few different sizes and some were just plastic so only good for gentle use. This replaces all of them and more.The quality is amazing for home usage. A contractor might even be able to get by if it is just occasional usage. I do think that someone using these regularly might find the more common sizes wear out, but that one or two size could be replaced. These should be pretty interchangeable with other brands. And the case is great to keep everything organized.Vevor is a brand that is affordable, but still makes a decent product. I wouldn't hesitate to get things from them, and so far they have always worked well. This set so far seems to be typical of their decent quality at an affordable price point.

I was amazed at all the different size saws included in the kit. There are two mandrels, one for sizes up to about 1" or so and a larger one for larger sizes. They are easy to use once you get the hang of it. The smaller sizes simply thread into the mandrel. The larger sizes thread on to the mandrel and you pull back a "locking collar" which engages the saw when it is almost seated on the mandrel (you don't have to have it tight, just firm up to the point where the locking collar can engage it).The picture shows two holes, one made with a saw attached to the larger mandrel, and a smaller one does with the smaller mandrel. Both times, the saw cut clean holes. The "plugs" were easy to remove from the saw - there are slots on the side of each circular saw blade and you can use a small screwdriver to push the plugs out. A lot of thinking went into the design of these tools.The "pilot bit" (my definition - I don't know the exact term) is a drill that starts the hole and keeps the circular saw steady as it drills through the material. It "bit" (pun intended) quickly and guided the hole saw as it should. The kit includes extra drill bits which are held into the mandrels with a set screw. The kit includes a hex wrench to remove and install these bits.The saws are extremely sharp and bore through the material quickly. I don't know what the material of the saws are, so I can't comment on how long they will stay sharp, but the quality of the kit leads me to believe they will last a long time if used in wood and synthetic trim boards (as in the picture), a real impressive feat at this price point.The carrying case is neatly laid out and the saws are located to keep the overall case size small. Some saws are nested when stored. I am being careful to watch where I take the different sized cutting blades from in the case, so I can get them all back together when finished. I intend to take a picture of the open case with all the saw blades located where they belong, so I don't have to struggle to get it all back together.Performance: The two holes in the sample piece were made with 1.00" and 1.25" saws. The smaller one measured .975" and the larger 1.261", more than accurate enough for this type of work. All in all an impressive kit.

The tagline on the case says "Vevor" "Tough tools, half price" —and I think that's a fair representation. This is a well thought out set (in terms of the sizes) and overall, the components are good. The two included arbors are especially nice, and, as advertised, are compatible with the standard brands of hole saws. (I may even like the larger one (with the locking pins) better than my old Milwaukee arbor.)I can't judge yet how sharp the saws will stay. I have a long history with hole saws, switching many years ago from the shallow, inexpensive ones to Starrett, Milwaukee, and Morse saws. (I just looked up the cost on a Milwaukee set that is similar (although it has 21 saws instead of 18, but the same overall range is covered)—it lists for $300—and Starrett and Morse are even more expensive. So, I'm not sure if it's fair to rate these as a comparable tool, or at least on the exact same grading scale as the premium brands. Once you start using hole saws, like any other drill bit, they do get dull. )I just drilled with a few on a home project, going through both some plaster (not sheet rock, but plaster and lath) and some plywood, and they did a fine job.I think this makes a great kit as a base line set of hole saws. There will be a few sizes (for me, 2 1/4 seems like a popular one) that will wear out and you can decide if you replace those with the premium saws. (I'm not even sure if you can buy something like these Vevor brand as individual saws—but I'd like to see that.If you have an air compressor, using a nozzle on it, to blow air into the holes as you are cutting it, there are several advantages. Mainly, the sawdust in the hole is cleared out, so the teeth don't get jammed (and it cuts much faster). Also, there is less friction, since the hole is not packed with sawdust—so the saw stays much cooler, and also stays sharp a lot longer.The other thing worth mentioning, is what those two pins do on the larger arbor. After you screw the saw onto arbor until it stops, begin backing it off as you push the knob that has the pins on it towards the hole saw. The pins will engage in the holes. This keeps the hole saw from being screwed too tightly onto the arbor. The saws that use the smaller arbor have flats machined into the base, so you can use a wrench to take them off the arbor.I've added two pictures. One shows a Milwaukee hole saw on the Vevor larger arbor, just to illustrate compatibility . The other compares three saws. You'll note that the Vevor has large teeth; both the others have teeth that vary a bit with the size of the hole saw, eventually getting as big as the Vevor teeth. I'm not sure if there's a disadvantage with the larger teeth though.A final note—my set came with two 1 3/4 hole saws, and no 1 1/2 inch saw. So—check out all the sizes.
