Low quality holesaws are fine for plastic, foam, drywall, thin wood, etc but if you are going to cut anything more than 1/4 wood or if you are going to cut anything frequently, invest in a better set. I would suggest Mastercraft Maxximum Bimetal when the set goes on for 55 as a bare minimum.

This would have been handy if I had them when I installed my pot lights. $10 would be worth it even for a one time use.

If you don't mind asking what type of hole saw(bimetal-wood) did you use when you did your pot lights? Am finishing up my ceiling using mdf board.

I tried the 16 pc hole saw from princess auto but wont drill hole. Lol

Look, I used them multiple times.

1-Drilling holes in a vanity,
2-drilling drywall
3-Drilling holes in a door.

All three went perfectly.

I don’t know how long they will last. But man 10$... you can’t go wrong with it.

I don’t do enough Reno’s to make it worth my while spending 40-50$ For a nice set

I have this exact set too, and have used it quite a bit more.
They do dull quickly and won't cut through thick or particularly hard wood. You'll know when the wood starts to burn while it cuts.

**However... still the best option for 90% of the DIYers out there who will only ever use this set a handful of times. Ideal for drywall!

Disappointed to see they skip 4-1/4" (set includes 4" and 5"), which is the size my LED lights calls for. Fairly common to skip 4-1/4" (probably all the same factory :). Cheapest 4-1/4" I've found is from Harbor Freight (US), U$20 for a set of 3 that includes that size.

I assume for drilling ~20 holes in drywall, this quality would be fine, if only the size was right. OTOH I do realize for 20 holes, paying $42 for a Diablo is still better than trying to freehand cut circles. :)

I used a dremel tool with a drywall bit, I needed to cut 4" holes.
