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

trust me - the poster that thought they might last a millisecond in metal
was optimistic - when I tried it (on a piece of sheet stainless), there was
no cutting at all, just a glowing ring of metal where the saw blades used to
be and a mushroom shaped drill bit remnant in the center and only a slight
discoloration on the stainless from the heating - a real brand name (hilti?)
hole saw cut the stainless perfectly
