"Nice adjustability of the center drill bit inside the circle saw component."
"Thus there is no way to reliably order a Dewalt arbor for a 3/8" drill to fit a hole saw with a 5/8"-18 engagement thread."
"As this was my first hole saw and I didn't already have the mandrel portion, I ordered the combo of 2"-dia (2"-max-depth) hole saw and 7/16"-shank mandrel [DW1803] recommended by Amazon. The 2 pegs in the silver-colored locking collar snap into one of the 2 opposing-hole pairs in the bottom of any Dewalt hole saw to hold the cutting end in place, but at the same time prevent the hole saw from locking itself onto the mandrel under the torque of drilling. Just slip the mandrel shank into your drill chuck & tighten down, then with the drill positioned the way you'll be using it (butt end against your belly), use one hand to pull the locking collar toward you as far as you can, and the other hand to screw the barrel end of the hole saw onto the threaded part of the mandrel. You should end up such that tightening the barrel part all the way down leaves the locking pins misaligned with both of the crosswise pairs of receiving holes, at which point you unscrew the barrel just enough to allow the pins to snap into the nearest hole pair. Lastly, I used the centering hole left in the tenon by the pilot bit of the hole-saw mandrel by drilling a same-1/4"-diameter hole the rest of the way through the center of the mortise (which in my case only went 1.5" sideways into a 4x4, roughly halfway through) and then using a lag screw started from the opposite side of the 4x4 to firmly fasten everything together."
"This quick change Mandrel is required when using other style hole cutting saw blades."
"I purchased (http://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-D180034-8-Inch-Standard-Bi-Metal/dp/B00005LEZB/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419370355&sr=8-1&keywords=DEWALT+D180034+2-1%2F8-Inch+Standard+Bi-Metal+Hole+Saw) as well from Amazon which is a great product."
"The locking pins will even match up on my other hole saws so...I am not sure if this is by design or by accident but the end result is they fit and it really makes your hole saw fit good and snug."
"Mostly, I want to address the 1-star reviews—those who are breaking the pilot bit are doing so because they're not pre-drilling a smaller pilot hole first."
Superior application results with exclusive tooth and set guide.

"Typical DeWalt construction."
"The shaft size on the larger arbor required use of the half inch drill; I had trouble getting the big drill into a couple if spots."
"I used it in a light aluminum slide but unfortunately the sides wear off."
"Great kit and love the quick mount."
"Does all that one would expect and it fits other hole saws that are not DeWalt brand."

"The steel is pretty strong, but won't hold up to a super powerful drill motor if you go too fast."
"Having a corded electric drill would probably be best, but i was able to cut four holes with my cordless dewalt drill."
"I have literally built 15 sets of cornhole boards with this hole saw."
"My first cut, the center post drill bit that guides the say broke clean off!!!"
"I didn't like this hole saw because it is very flimsy."
"I was able to use the hole saw to still make guidelines for the jigsaw cuts on some cornhole boards, so I finished the job... just not getting the value from this purchase that I'd expected."
"I was able to cut one hole in 1/4" hardboard using a drill press, and the result was a jagged hole, lots of vibration, and I was concerned that it might break."

"Saves me about 15 minutes when I arrive to camp, and another 15 minutes when I am getting things ready to leave at end of camping."
"Good deal for the three sizes, and these socket extension bits are a GREAT addition to anyone who has a power drill."
"I'm halfway through, maybe more on my exterior and along with a dewalt drill holster on my toolbelt, I have seamless transitions from Phillips screw bits to hex to flat head and back again."
"I needed an adapter to connect my sockets to my cordless drill. Now, instead of throwing them away after my project was complete like I expected, I am put them in my tool box with my sockets."
"just because my impact drill and sockets (with these extensions) was RIGHT THERE and it was just as easy to fit up the adapter as it was to snap on a socket wrench and the impact drill makes for a darn tight nut and I like the sound of the driver "hammering" the nut tight."
"These barely hold the sockets in place."
"The spring was not present or not functional on the bearing that holds the socket on in the 3/8 fitting."

"I bought this for my own personal use at work or bring it home when I need to sharpen a drill. I'm a CNC Machinist and small drill sharpening at work is pretty much non existent. Don't have a lot of split points so this is not a big deal for me. If I had to buy again I would go with the 500X and forgo the larger drills as they are to much strain on the small motor and wheel."
"Be prepared to sharpen, reset alignment, sharpen, reset alignment, sharpen, reset alignment on new bits so the whole face gets sharpened."
"I have probably owned (and disposed of) pretty much every design of inexpensive drill bit sharpeners made. I buy only good quality American made drill bits and can keep them going nearly indefinitely."
"You do no have to possess any special skill to sharpen your bits like a professional, split points as well. I have a lot of drill bits and now all of them are sharp and cut great."
"Finally, high performance bits, or those with special geometry can certainly be re-sharpened, but the result will not be as good as the original grind. It will save you money in the long run if you use a lot of bits, but if you use a lot of high performance bits, it doesn't really help because it turns them into general purpose grinds. If you need to routinely re-sharpen high performance bits to a precise grind, you need a multi - axis tool sharpener with an assortment of wheels."

"I'm very satisfied I bought this item as a combo pack together with the Dremel 220-01 Rotary Tool Work Station and the Dremel 4000-6/50 120-Volt Variable-Speed Rotary Tool with 50 Accessories. You can't go wrong buying the combo pack Dremel 4000-6/50 120-Volt Variable-Speed Rotary Tool with 50 Accessories with Work Station and MultiPro Keyless Chuck and that's the way I went although it cost me a bit more on the long run but I got all items at the same time in one delivery."
"Once it got "stuck" open and I had to remove it from the Dremel and work with it a long time to "un-stick.""
"I don't think it will hold bits as well as a collet, but there are pros like many mentioned."
"I can see why some people have trouble with the chuck and small drill bits; it's like going to your. drill press and trying to use a little drill bit on that big chuck; not easy, and half the time you. get a wobble out of it, plus this chuck does not close down completely so in most cases a small drill bit would just fall out."
"Lets you change tools without changing collets."
"The chuck cannot be used...I think mine is a knockoff not manufactured by Dremel, not that you can tell because the chuck comes in a small bag with nothing else."
"It worked all the way to the part that I finger tighten the attachment into the chuck until I had to take the attachment back out."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Like most of modern day Dewalt stuff, they are made in China from Chinese steel. If you want the best, payseven times as much and purchase from a reputable American manufacturer. Some people give less than five star reviews for these bits complaining that they are cheap Chinese junk. I can't understand reviewers that buy a $10 tool, then complain because it is of lower quality than a $50 version."
"At the typical $30-ish price they still represent a good value.I feel that DeWalt has been gradually improving the quality and performance of their tools, as well as the variety."
"I bought this set several yrs ago for myself first, and they have done what I'd expect from them."
"These bits would not be suitable to use for making tapered holes as each bit comes to an extended point."
"Don't really know how to evaluate drill bits, etc., but offers a great variety and every bit I have used has worked well (was especially interested in and thankful for the variety of bits for concrete/bricks as opposed to wood)."
"I've used this more than any other bit index I've owned excluding professionally."
"Overall, the bits are excellent and penetrate almost anything very quickly."
"This drill set is very complete and works very well for home use."
