Questions & Answers

This product is covered under a lifetime warranty, right?

The consumable nature of these items makes them ineligible for tax exemption.

Are they able to drill stainless steel for a long time?

As long as the cutting oil is ample, the speed is low, the pressure is light to moderate, and periodic stops are made to remove chips, I think you should be fine. This is the 1-point scale I used As for drilling two holes through 1/2" thick (dual 1/4" plates) cold rolled steel (1010 or 1020), I was able to do it with my 1/2" variable speed handheld drill, but I had to work at a slow pace so that the bit would not The cutter worked great in a tight area, where there was no room for a mag mount drill press. I was really surprised at how durable this cutter was. My best wishes go out to you for

It does not match the description in the picture. Is that what it is?

There is a mismatch between the description and the picture, David is right.

Selected User Reviews For Klein Tools 31872 Hole Cutter, 4-Piece Carbide Hole Cutter Set Includes Pilot Bit and is in Rust-Proof Molded Plastic Case

The design is perfect and the construction is decent
4/5

Set of hole saws in good condition. It appears to be extremely durable and it neatly organizes the three sizes of hole saws with a spare pilot bit slot. The hole saws are beautifully designed, which is a testament to their quality. It's the ejection spring in the pilot bit that I really love. The system makes it easy for me to drill directly from one hole to the next. Furthermore, they have a stopper, or flange, built in to prevent accidental overdrilling. The designers of Klein's device seem to have taken everything into account when designing it. So far, I have only had one real problem I believed the 1-to-three ratio instead of the ratio of 1 to 1. It was prematurely lost by the 1/4" hole saw (1/8" trade size). My carbide teeth had broken after moderate use I keep the tool as gentle as possible in order to prolong its life. I obtained a replacement from the Home Depot, and the tool has been working just fine. It's very likely that your 12V drill can be used to solve this issue if you have one handy. A set up like this is nearly impossible to beat for convenience. Also, I have Klein's knockout ratchet set, which I appreciate because it is more durable and enables me to do better work than traditional models. Yet at less than a third of the price, you can't go wrong with this quality.

Any electrician needs one of these great holesaws
5/5

Any electrician needs one of these great holesaws. It is easy and precise for me to drill aluminum, stainless steel cover plates and panel tubs. Considering how long they will last compared to conventional hole saws, they are well worth the $70 price tag.

I found it very useful
5/5



It is a very good type of product, and it works well with the spring pushing the slug out neatly after it is inserted.

You can, however, not use it on any angle. It was necessary for me to buy replacement bits after I broke two of them. You will receive a spare as well. I really like this set and it cuts nicely for electrical boxes and panels. In the end, you have to be able to get straight into your surface, which is not always possible.

If you want a budget knife but not the best, this is it
4/5

It cuts well, but I have not tried it on stainless steel. The situation concerns me a little. For the past two days, I have had a cold. The holes were cut well on gutter boxes, and we used the regular gutter boxes for about 20 holes. Even so, if you do not keep completely straight with the drill bit, you will already have two broken drill bits. Overall, I'd recommend it if you're on a budget. I got it down with some practice, although I have not run into any problems while using it.

A blade that is capable of cutting through stainless steel counters
5/5

A blade that is capable of cutting through stainless steel counters. To use your drill, make sure the torque gear is set to slow (the slow one) and go slowly. When working with stainless, take breaks if the material is too thick or hard to work with. In general, the longer the bits stay cool, the longer they will last I also sometimes use cutting oil, but only after getting my holes started dry, because otherwise things could slip out of place and you might.

I'm not able to use it
3/5

Two holes in the 1/2" hole saw caused it to break. You can see the pictures here. I will be replacing the hole saw set I had previously. It was an Ideal hole saw kit, and it lasted about one I cannot endorse this klein tool hole saw, it's just a joke and the quality is poor. In place of Ideal, I'm going back.

Cut holes in metal with metal hole cutting This set of hole cutters for metal is very nice
4/5

The cheapest way to get a reasonable set of these at a price that is economical would be to purchase a really expensive tool set. It's only needed once or twice in a while. are good for the purposes they are intended for.

A stainless steel box or electrical box is ideal for this product
5/5

This is awesome. A stainless steel box or electrical box is ideal for this product. A hole is easy to make, and is fast to make. A recommended choice.
