I’ve used other masonary hole bits that did not do nearly as well, this one is built with good, thick steel and heavy carbide on the cutting edges. Goes through concrete well, some of the rocks not so good 🙂 .

Worked like a charm to cut holes through tile and green board to install grab bars in a shower. Be sure to use a punch to divot the tile first so the bit doesn’t slide.

I used this with their 3/8 inch arbor (which you will need, this doesn’t come with one) to drill a hole through brick and cinder block for a high efficiency furnace exhaust. Worked perfectly. You’ll need a powerful drill but it does the job. Fits a 2” PVC perfectly. Used hydraulic cement to seal around it. Only used it once so your mileage may vary

This bit cut through almost 8 in of gunite total between my main pool area and the spa until I hit rebar it still has some life to it but it did its job. Worth the money

No other hole saw I have ever used makes the hole, as accurate and as smooth as I want it to be. In the picture you may note the layers/levels of the leaves. With this Carbide Grit Hole Saws smooth and accurate holes sealing and gluing is now a “Snap!” A real time-saver-money-maker.

I purchased this to make holes in a concrete basement wall to install a port for water line. It fit my standard Ridgid arbor just fine which made it even more economical. It really cut good using a 3/8″ cordless drill. The only question lingering in my mind is “why did they put a wood cutting bit in a carbide-grit hole saw?” I changed it to a 1/4″ masonry bit which is much more appropriate for material where a carbide grit saw would be needed!

Its a great bit and a good price but I would just like to say the center taping bit is not carbide dipped and thats frustrating for me personally.My job went well with the product I would reccommend it to others.COOL with water while cutting!

I had to drill through my brick siding to run some conduit and I was pretty impressed with this hole saw. Running it at a lower speed and water cooling it helped.

Needed holes in a concrete block for a pipe. I used a little water as I drilled, and this quickly made two nice, clean holes. Since I have only drilled the two, I can’t speak to how long it will last, but for the price it was worth it just for the two holes (I already had access to the arbor I needed). I didn’t want to beat out a hole or use a small bit to make a circle. I have seen this done, and either option makes for an ugly, rough hole. I was installing a 3/4 PVC LB conduit body, and this 1-1/4″ hole size made a perfect fit for the fitting part of the conduit body to slide in, with just a little caulk to seal it.

Cut Through a 2″ water meter lid just fine. Took about 10 minutes. Works better with water. That was not mentioned on the package. That’s why only four stars.

i bought one for a job that im currently doing to make 1 3/8 holes so far i made over 30 hole with the same holes saw and pilot bit , on cement block no water needed. i been an electrician for over 15 years , all it takes is a little knowledge of how to use the right tools. highly recommended.

Easy to assemble and use. Performed admirably given the task it was used for. We were boring multiple holes in fire brick for use in a forge. This bit did a great job. We did not utilize the pilot bit and had a hole template made of wood for guiding the hole saw, making multiple holes in each brick. Given the number of holes and bricks we only destroyed 1 of the two bits purchased.

Drill a 1 !/4 hole in 4″ of cement .Had to keep adding water. Took one hour + hole saw still good enough to do another hole if I need to

Have used these hole saws in various sizes and they work great.I don’t know if they are designed to run in hammer drills or not, but that is how I use them.Run it somewhat slow and they do wonders.

I used it on a cement block wall. It cut thru the block quickly and smoothly. Good tool to add to your tool box.

Tried bi-metal hole saw to cut hole in stucco. One hole and teeth were gone. Tried this hole saw and worked well. Cut five holes in stucco and can hardly see any wear on carbide teeth. Recommend it for cementitious materials.

Cuts very well through brick and mortar. Fast and efficient. I ordered online with in-store pickup, which was very convenient too.
