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 🙂 .

USED TO CUT A 2 1/2″ HOLE IN BRICK, USING WATER FROM A PLASTIC BOTTLE W/ A PIN HOLE IN CAP TO LUB THE CUTTING EDGE. NICE CLEAN CUT.

Great price- much better than competition. Worked very well. Only four stars because I can’t rate the durability from my experience.I used the bit for one project- to cut through dense laboratory tabletop material (very hard, with sand in it). It cut through 1 inch thickness in about a minute, using only a small cordlless drill, low speed and no coolant. I was enlarging a hole so I couldn’t use a pilot bit. I was able to start the cut without a pilot drill bit, by starting with light pressure at an angle to the surface. This was easier than I expected. Once I got it started, I could gradually tilt the saw up to vertical and increase pressure. It was stable and self guided after that.

If the pilot bit was carbide tipped like the hole saw, I would give this combo a 5. But as soon as I drilled deep enough into the tile I was cutting for the hole saw to bite, the job was done in seconds. It’s a very good, quick working hole saw.

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!

This was used to “drill” a hole in 1 1/2″ thick hard stucco, backed by heavy wire mesh. It left a nice clean hole and cut much better than I had anticipated.

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.

just what I needed to run conduit through the stucco wall. nice clean hole.

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.

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.

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

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

Bought this for drilling through cement/hardie board. Works great and fast

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.

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.

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.
