These work great when they work but I have bought several that have had a variety of issues. Some come dull out of the box some have had the pilot bits fall apart. The one I am using now came brand new with a dull pilot bit. I spend a lot of tools in a year and have spent too much on shockwave hole saws that don't work. Luckily home depot has exchanged them for me several times.

October 29, 2019
I have my weber grilled hooked to a hose connected to my house propane. I decided to put the spare tank under the grill and away from the garage. But the tank hole was where my hose exited. I decided to drill a 1 inch hole in the side of the grill to run the hose and to not disrupt the tank placement. Wow. For such thin metal, it was next to impossible to get solid drill bits through the side. I started with small bits and increased. I went to HD to get a 1 inch solid bit but there were $30 ish. Then I found this and remembered how well they work on door handle holes. This bit is for metal. It drifted at first since I already had a 1/2 inch hole (my bad). But to drill through the grill took maybe 10 seconds. The blade is super sharp and well made. Great product. I touched up the side hole with two inch PVC to keep the edges of the metal away from the gas hose, then painted all with flat black paint. Works great.

Cuts like hot knife through butter. I needed to drill through an aluminum shifter box on a car to reach linkage parts, and this hole saw went through about 3mm of cast aluminum within seconds. In fact, I inadvertently went right through some stamped steel too. This is worth the money.

The attached picture is 1.5 holes in through 1/8" steel using a Ridgid Gen5x brushless impact driver. Guess I should have laid off the spinach, since I managed to drill a 7/8" straight through the teeth. I imagine this tool would work great if I put the driver in medium mode and switched to decaf, since the first hole was perfect. I'm also going to try lubricant, since everything got pretty hot. Will buy another and try again.
Great, verfsatile hole saw!

I use bi-metal hole saws to cut holes in military ammo cans. The Shockwave Thin Wall Hole Saw works really well for this. It says that you can use an impact driver, but I found the best results using a regular drill/driver. Of course, if you are drilling a wiring panel that will be covered with dry wall, it does not matter much. Just use whatever drill or driver you have handy. But, in my case looks makes a difference, as I will sell these. You can see from the pictures below that using the impact driver left a slightly irregular hole when the impact kicked in. This is not present using the drill/driver. Remember, I used it on a military ammo can, so if you are drilling a circuit panel, I am sure the metal will cut really easy!
This is a quality hole saw! It is much better than some other one you may use! The money you pay for this will save you money in the long run.
Solid with upsides and downsides

Ive tried a lot of “impact ready” thin hole saws. I use the to cut holes in sheet metal so my use case is pretty light. I like that it has a replaceable arbor but the spring isnt strong enough to always push out thr metal but that is also techinique and pushing to hard will always cause that. I do prefer the Bosch thin wall hole saw but this is anout five dollars cheaper
