These used to be great! The current models seems to be very fragile as far as the pilot bit is concerned. The actual hole saw will out last the pilot bit by far. Unfortunately you cannot buy just the pilot bit “from home depot”. So just take care while using these.

Anything beyond thin metal will break the drill bit off. First time use on a 22gauge electric cabinet of a heater, bit broke off, swapped with other bit thinking it was faulty, same occurrence. Trying to warranty these are next to impossible.
Truly thin wall compatible, don't buy.

Imo don't get the thinwall ones, get the fixes blade ones
There ok.. they adjust so the whole portion slides back to where it doesn't cut all the way through even after being adjusted and tightened.

Cheap product
I have always been a fan of Milwaukee, and have been using their tools for years.
I bought this kit and within a few uses the 1 1/8” hole saw broke and I had to purchase a replacement. Now I’m using the 1 3/8” hole saw and it broke already. I will not purchase these again.

Cuts through stainless
Got this for a specific job cutting into stainless boxes for explosion proof area, and these things ate through stainless, much easier than a Greenlee carbide set and cheaper, gave it 4 Stars as I will see how long they hold up for

Good for Steel but NOT Stainless Steel
worked good on steel, does not work on stainless steel. bits dulled while trying to cut a SS electrical box, rendered bits useless after that. great bits if you use on steel only

Awesome hole-saws….. when they don’t break!
These are the business when they don’t break! I used the 1 3/8” on a large breaker box and the hole saw kicked serious butt for about 5 holes. Then the little spring got jammed on the next go… wondering what the heck was stopping it from cutting through like the previous holes I noticed the jammed spring and the shank being loose. Tried to tighten but it did nothing. The other two sizes I’ve been using for two weeks and they are still going strong! Prolly cut over 50 holes with each!!!! Great product when they don’t break!!! 2 stars though due to the most important size breaking after 5 uses!
