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

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

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

These are great hole saws, bought this set because I was sick of way overpaying for individual blades and having to travel to HD/L when I needed it but the case it comes in seems like a half hearted attempt at an size reduction with a plastic upgrade compared to the normal style case, but they clearly didnt take the weight and heft of the blades into account.

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.

Came with a much cheaper case than pictured....as a lot of other reviews say. The case I got is very cheap and not what is pictured.

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

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.

Showed up in a case about half the size of the one shown in the pictures, it’s a Milwaukee case but rather generic not molded like the one shown. I kind of like it better I think but don’t like surprises stop being lazy and post the actual picture of what I will receive
