Hole Saw Set on sale for $3.

I bought this set about 4 years ago. Yes, I have quite a few "Milwaukee" bi
metal cutters, but, this set has gotten me out of a pinch many, many times.
It has a lot of in-between sizes that I don't own and i carry it with me
when I go do volunteer repairs at friends homes. Just cut some holes in
vinyl siding the other day for electrical conduit. Cut hole in car
dashboard to help friend install gauges. Etc. Etc.

No, I have not tried them on metal, but for everyday 'occasional' holes this
compact little kit cannot be beat.

My $ 0.02

I agree that for occasional holes of approximate size these are good.
However, the saw cup takes some real fiddling with to get it even close
to concentric with the drill bit, Otherwise you will get a hole that is
larger than the stated diameter.
