- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 November 2024Size Name: 17mmVerified PurchaseA previous Starrett hole saw broke up mid-way through a job after many years of use (and abuse) and I needed a replacement that would do as well as the original. Having tried some other brands which were recommended to me but disappointed, massively, I did what I should have done ask bought a genuine Starrett product once more.
The previous saw was good, very good, drilling thick/thin, metal or plastic with no problems. ``it was getting slower but, hey, so am I. The new one arrived and was put to work straight away. Why had I waited so long? It cut fast and true, throwing an impressive amount of swarf as it bored the remaining twenty- three holes in no tome flat.
Amazon delivery was fast but the Starrett hole saw impressed even more .
IMO buy Starrett and forget the rest.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 November 2024Size Name: 22mmVerified PurchaseThese holesaws are a good brand and stay sharp even after a few holes through 3mm stainless.
I always use these where I can because they also don't have that elliptical wobble that you get with cheapo ones that are off centre on the arbour/mandrel.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2024Size Name: 25mmVerified PurchaseWorks well, good quality,
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 November 2023Size Name: 79mmVerified PurchaseBought this to cut a hole in the floor of my Ford transit custom to fit a diesel heater. Cut through easily. Teeth did not show any heavy signs of wear after use.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 August 2024Size Name: 79mmVerified PurchaseThere are cheap holesaws etc out there but you get what you pay for . Ive only ever bougth starrett because they last for years and remain sharp over and over . They are great value for money , buy cheap buy twice

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2024Size Name: 52mmVerified PurchaseI was impressed by how well it drilled through my new door before installing the lock.
Please be aware that a hole saw is not included with the arbour adaptor.
The hole saw sliced cleanly, and I'm pleased with how accurate it was.
Several non-exclusive brands that I have tested have fallen short of my expectations.
This product is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calidad excelente
Size Name: 70mmVerified PurchaseComo no podía ser de otra manera, la calidad es excelente, propia de la marca. La he usado para hacer una bajante de un canalón de aluminio y a parte de permitir el centrado correcto sin variación en todo el corte (los dientes de la corona son más pequeños que los de las marcas baratas), ha hecho un corte limpio y perfecto. Recomiendo vivamente esta corona y la marca Starrett.
