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.

I picked up a set of those a couple of years ago, they go on sale for that
price every month or two around here. They are okay for wood, even used one
in 1/2" hardiboard for shower fixture holes. Haven't used them in metal,
but I wouldn't expect them to last more than a millisecond for that
application.

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

My guess is that these hole saws are made of mild steel.

I keep mine in the truck for special circumstances. But I had to buy
a real (deWally) bimetal bit for doing a lockset in a steel-clad door
last Winter. Have you (or anyone) used one of the HF bimetal sets? I
didn't even know they made them until today. http://fwd4.me/WN7
