Thank for helping a 60 plus lady. At Lowe's watching your video. Learning to help myself.

[@mellyofthespring3365]

Who knew there were different kinds?!! I had to wait until the last example to find out how mine works, but this "hole" presentation was very smart, interesting, easy to follow, informative, and demonstrated beautifully! Thanks!

[@joseenriquecastillo4662]

You deserve a beer, saved a visit to either my mental health doctor or jail, i was only familiar with the wood type, but the Milwaukee was driving me nuts going loose with the wrong arbor. Cheers and thanks

[@JC-uj2sw]

Thank you so much for your help with this video!! As someone who sifts through countless videos on KZbin for help with various DIY projects, it is SO nice to find a video with someone who is a natural at teaching and articulating information!!

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@Dusty11408]

Outstanding video! I bought the last one you demonstrated and couldn’t figure out how to put the drill and the 6” hole saw together. Your presentation was well done and easy to understand. Thank you very much for taking the mystery out of this.

[@chan4754]

after several videos, your was the first that actually gave me the info I needed - thanks!

[@Lisa-jh1os]

Samee thank you for the great vid

[@pianomusic4you]

Same here.

[@bschuber]

Same haha - I was too embarrassed to ask "but how do you actually put the bit on before using it" when looking at holesaw instructional videos 🙈

[@alfredarogers5197]

Thank you so much for the video. I recently purchased the hole saw and had no idea how to use or assemble to use with my drill. I'm not one to shy away from using power tools. Now let me find some wood and drill a hole. Thanks again.

[@tiglyosaurus]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to see to fit my kit to my drill.

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Awesome!

[@ckaimakis8171]

THANK YOU!! I just bought these and had no idea how to attach. Retiring and am teaching myself how to build things. Never too old to learn more!

[@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio]

Very good breakdown. You took the time to explain all the elements in a relatively concise manner. Was looking to by a hole saw bit, then was instructed that I would need an Arbour. This was my research. You made a subscriber out of me, all the way from the UK. Keep it up.

[@dorothylyons3239]

❤

[@paulmartin7635]

After spending nearly two hours getting confused about what I needed to use a holesaw on my power drill by looking on DIY store websites, this video answered all my questions. Thank you!!

[@gluesticksforbreakfast3785]

If only allllll the KZbin videos about Renos & DIYs were this helpful!! Thank you for speaking clearly, showing exactly what you are doing and being thorough.. Super helpful!

[@nicholastanton8404]

Ok, after watching for 2 minutes and reading first 10 comments, while waiting for a hole saw to arrive, I'm subscribing. People making instructional videos like you've done are far and few between. So glad I found you. Now I need to find instructions for drilling marble and keeping the hole saw cleaned out.

[@johnthomason9017]

Thank you Reno now I have retired as an hobby I have took up basic woodwork making such items as bird boxes.you have explained in a very easy way to follow thank you👌

[@myunconsciousismine4694]

Thanks from Edinburgh Scotland - just about to cut a worktop need to start the corner holes with one of these 😎

[@sandibruegger1028]

You are a lifesaver!!! No instructions in our menards set and your video made it all make sense.

[@brianbancroft4592]

Thanks. I got one of these bits and saws as part of a kit for a rain barrel kit. Never used it before, and I didn't know it was more than one part. You were clear, and I figured it out in seconds.

[@cfldriven]

Thank you so much for sharing the info. At 7:51 you had the answer to my Milwaukee Dozer question. Milwaukee didn't think it was necessary to include instructions with their 15 piece kit.

[@vanlifeforgoldenrhodes]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!! I had not used one before and I bought the second kind but I had no idea how to attach it, ha ha ha, live and learn. I'm converting a cargo van into a campervan and I needed this tool for a couple of things in the van and finding your video was a welcomed relief. 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@annat6905]

I was going crazy trying to figure out how to put that thing on a drill and make a hole and thank goodness I found you. I don't work around or with tools so this was great.

[@MultiLulucha]

I’m so grateful to have found your video. Was close to returning the hole saw I’d just purchased but your video was exactly what I needed to hear (and see cause I’m super visual) what got me to feeling safe and confident in my connection was when you reiterated there’s no part that goes on the inside -and the Allen wrench. I did the thing-I felt safe -and I made my moms awesome old oak desk accessible to the outlet so its now my new work space AND I feel like a bad ass.

[@nursebecky2006]

THANK YOU! I was struggling trying to figure out how the mandrel connected to my hike cutter, thanks to you I figured it out!

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Awesome! Glad to help.

[@DelilahZoe]

A+++ . This was well thought out -- very clear for beginners with the shots you set up, and angles you showed, and the examples you gave. Bless you!

[@TheNancystolberg]

Thank you!! This helped me so much! I was setting up my hydroponic garden and just needed to drill a couple of holes. You explanation was soooo simple for me. I just spend over an hour looking for a screw for that hole to tighten it when you said to tighten it with an allen wrench it was a light bulb going off for me.

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

So glad you found this video helpful! Thank you for sharing your experience.

[@counterjabs]

Its been years since using mine last. Thanks for reminding me about the Allen wrench to tighten the nut down. Thanks again!

[@moniquemeyers6469]

Valuable information! I love how you addressed all the different styles of hole saws and drill/driver setup!!! Thank you so much!

[@LyrinLoreweaver]

Thank you! I have used two other hole saw bit sets, but never a Milwaukee brand. We had to borrow a larger size, and I've been struggling with the set up for a half hour before finding your video. Worked a charm, thanks again!

[@RENOS4PROSJOES]

Glad this helped!

[@2Kaleth]

Thank you! Love straight to the instructions without all the flash and loud music of other channels. Clear visuals. Sooo helpful❤️🙏🏼

[@mrgrape2166]

Thank you... Great video..., clear, short and to the point... Hope you make more videos for us 'joes'👏👏😊

[@mtz9939]

To release the hole saw from the mandrel when it seems stuck, I chuck the quick connect end in my vise and use a wrench to loosen nut, quick and easy. Good video

[@TheMistressTLF]

This was so informative and helpful! I am hoping to work with tools inherited from my dad and recently sent to me, so it was great to see if what I had was what I needed for the project *and* for the sentimental part.

[@elifire4147]

On the first one I found out I needed to use a deepwell 22m to put down in the mandril alternatively you could put a small steel punch through the whole mandril. Thanks for helping me get started with this stuff very good video, you remind me of Denzel Washington :)

[@acampbell7045]

Thanks very much - the last one was exactly what I was hoping you’d show. Good job 👍🏻

[@rivergalct]

Thank you! The way you laid out each type of setup and how to attach was perfect.

[@scout7198]

Thanks to you, I now know how to work the arbor for the large hole saw. Thank you!!!

[@toddmullins9727]

Thanks, man! Perfect descriptions. You’re literally saving lives, or at least fingers and hands. ✌🏻

[@kameronrobinson1345]

Awesome instructions-thank you for explaining how things work and all of the tips. You made my day

[@kattfranklin6933]

Thank you so much. I know that it is March 2022, but your demonstration was awesome. I bought a "flipped house" which required many repairs. Love the fact that you used correct terms as mandrel. God bless you for taking the time to help "DIY's.

[@binhminh417]

Without my arbor hole saw's user guide, I couldn't figure out how to replace the hole saw bit. I appreciate your invaluable guidance on this subject.

[@drsamkim]

Thanks!! Now I know mine is stuck just like yours. So I confirmed its not my problem, just a design imperfection. Thanks again

[@pranefuji]

Thanks for puting this video, have a broader kit with drill bits, but wasn't quite sure what piece fitted on the hole saw. Nice to see the mandrel and how it fits.

[@margieliddick3384]

Thank you!! I could not figure this out for the life of me!!! Super helpful and explained everything

[@paulcalder2792]

Here’s a tip for getting stuck hole saws off the mandrel. Get a socket adapter that fits your impact driver and on the other end of the adapter, place the socket that fits the shaft of the mandrel. Hold the hole saw tightly with a glove. Place your impact driver in reverse. With your other hand, give a few quick squeezes of the trigger of the impact driver. Usually this will release the stuck hole saw

[@Lg1969]

Thanks that last one with the 6" helped me a lot!!!... I'm using a Milwaukee 4" Hole Dozer with a 7/16" Large Quick Change Arbor

[@K3V_L4W]

Me too and fused the bastards

[@clarkwilliams4790]

Thank you very much! Learning the names of these parts alone (eg mandril and arbor) is a big help to me

[@mynotificationsareoff.400]

Thank you! I want to covert an old entertainment set into a cat tower and this video was very informative. I’m new to tools all around and this helped me a lot. (Specifically the different types of teeth shapes for different surfaces)

[@richt6353]

Thank You for explaining this Tool!!!

[@misterkim6206]

Great job. Thanks again. Swiftly to the point and clear. See you in another year or so.

[@TheRottiemama2003]

Thanks for explaining it so clearly.

[@mmerriman4995]

Thanks! You addressed and resolved my dilemma in the first 2 minutes.

[@maidmarion2976]

Really clear explanation. Thanks so much.

[@glennproctor4178]

Thanks! I've got various holesaws and associated accessories but was never quite sure how to use them, you've explained it all very clearly.

[@GoldieHoffmanComedian]

finally! someone who actually breaks it all down and shows how to use and install it and diff. types too! thank you! thx esp showing the details like the tiny side hole for an allen key and the oblong shape one -- once i separated it, i couldn't seem to figure out how to get it back on tight cuz i didn't realize the shape thing on both pieces on this one.

[@kengoode7977]

Outstanding explanations and demos...Thanks!!!

[@lubeman2010]

Concise and clear. Thank you so much.

[@SesameBuns]

Very helpful, thank you very much. Subscribed. This will help get me going with sawing a hole (8.5") for a range hood (duct) installation.

[@b-gill9224]

This video was right on time for a DIY novice. Thanks brother.

[@lewkono1714]

Great, clear information!! Thank you!!

[@DaveD56]

Excellent, first person to explain clearly and properly how this is done. I thank you.

[@doneown503]

Thanks for the video! Very clear, and easily understood.

[@Mary-oh4qy]

Thank you! I've used hole saws before but couldn't for the life of me remember how to put one together. You answered my question plus gave some great advice about hand tightening.

[@bschuber]

Great video, I needed this! (as a complete novice, all the videos I watched instructed how to use the tool, but not actually assemble it😅) Thanks for making such quality beginner-friendly videos, I'm subscribing :D

[@Lisa-jh1os]

Finally got the info needed. I needed to know how to use the second mandrel. Realized I couldn't use my impact instead of the drill and that's why it wasn't fitting.

[@danalaniz7314]

Thanks so much for the thorough and great demonstration/explanation.

[@paulwilson3434]

Yes very excellent instructions. Thank you My friend

[@highhavingness]

Thank you so much! So glad I found your channel!

[@marksilvers8980]

This was exactly the explanation I needed. Thanks dude!

[@kristaboston5895]

I needed the demonstration of the larger 6 inch one so thank you!

[@DetailEnthusiast]

Thank you sir! Keep em coming!

[@gloriaspencer9220]

Yes yes very informative, Thank You for sharing.

[@Artzandcatz]

You helped me immensely with the Milwaukee arbor! Except now I have to collect the actual saws as it won’t fit my luxury yard sale older saws 🤣

[@grantos3000]

Thanks for this. I have the second type which came with a dewalt drill set. Couldnt work out how the saw attached to the drill bit...didnt have a clue about the bit that screws off the mandril until I saw this!!

[@jacquelinestravels]

thankyou so much for this video , i had no idea how to put the hole saw drill together but you made it easy to understand . Thankyou

[@vivekkhavnekar]

Very well explained(all 3 types).Thnks.

[@shakazulu5970]

[@ieshiaaa]

Thank you so much for this video!

[@tessazywiec4992]

Clear & correct! Saved my day. Best video ever.

[@Wyman642]

Thanks very much. Just got the Lenox quick-change arbor and was wondering how it worked. Answered all my questions.

[@macsawesomeplace]

Stick a rod through the slots on the side of the hole saw and use an adjustable wrench in the mandrel. Alternatively you can use an oil filter strap wrench( not the chain type) to grip the hole saw while you use the wrench on the mandrel.

[@ferryelperro24]

I was going to say the same!

[@MelkhorX]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for!

[@adelinexaxier9610]

Very informative, just what I was looking for. Thank you ❤

[@vluis7174]

Very informative! Thanks!

[@kokoroforyou1812]

Thank you for such great explanations. I want to drill a hole in the back of an armoire to pass cords through. I want to do it in the least complicated way and your video explained it perfectly.

[@NovianLeVanMusic]

Thank you, major help!

[@chocolate_squiggle]

Amazing, very comprehensive thank you. I just bought my first VERY cheap nasty holesaw kit - I only need to get through a piece of flimsy flat-pack furniture backing. But I'm always curious what the differences are between cheaper vs more expensive or just different styles of the same tools. Thanks for explaining and showing how they all fit together.

[@PedersenDavid]

Thank you! Big help!

[@vera4799]

Thank you, just the information I was looking for.
