Milwaukee BIG HAWG Carbide Teeth Hole Saw Kit w/ Packout 49-56-9295

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I agree rob wish they had the quick connect for the Milwaukee hole saws but for the price you cant go wrong with them eaither

[@ConcordCarpenter]

good point

[@Thompson-from-Finland]

you can buy connectors that you can put on any holesaw for that bosch quick connect. i have that exact same kit holesaw kit with bosch quick connect. awesome set!

[@ConcordCarpenter]

yes - I have them - they're great

[@am11744]

I can't think of any one in the world that goes into the detail from an end user point of view. Thanks for all your work guys 👍

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Thanks for watching!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I love the diablo quick arbors they are amazing

[@electroluxlad]

The problem is with the whole hugs with a 5 1/2 inch you will strip those out Because not having a locking tabs professional plumbing

[@michaell7877]

If I had all the different size bits that you have, especially the quick connects, I would have just stuck with that. Maybe even add a bit or two that you might need to the existing quick connect.

[@melgross]

Hah! This kit is great, it only weighs about 15 pounds instead of the 60 of my old kit with all this stuff I don’t really use. Um, well I think I’ll get a few more arbors and maybe some more bits. 5 years later: The problem with this kit is that the case is too small, so I carry all the other stuff in different bags. I need a bigger case so I can carry all the 60 pounds of stuff I need. Yeah!

[@DMSparky]

I am not an engineer at TTi so I don’t know but I wonder if they shipped the older style arbour because it’s stronger. They ship their bimetal hole-saws with a faster slide style arbour. Perhaps they weren’t strong for use with the right angle drills. I will mention it to you I’m sure you know already know regular 18V cordless drills aren’t designed for use with large diameter hole-saws. I have burnt out Fuel drill motors doing it hahaha. I have also broken a Hilti SF10W brake. It was pushing both drills way too hard but don’t feel like carrying a right angle drill.

[@PhysicsDude55]

In a review about hole saws... I was really hoping for a review of ya know... how well they saw holes.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Not a review - its a "tips" video on being more efficient and using this kit to achieve that

[@robinford4037]

When you drill a wrong sized hole (slightly to small), with the older system you can use the original hole saw as a pilot guide and attach the correct sized hole saw to the auger to complete the task, hastle free, whereas the new quick fitting tool, you screw up and you are going to make a mess correcting your mistake

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Great point, but there are some tricks for fixing that hole - maybe a video???hmmm

I believe Milwaukee does have the quick connect I got a magnetic style arbor! Haven’t gotten that style hole saw I want them just a bit pricey

[@ConcordCarpenter]

didn't know that

[@madeinusa1576]

@@ConcordCarpenter it’s similar to the Lennox style much simpler but I like that quick connect to what you had! Thanks for the videos rob and the head to heads man awesome stuff!!

[@ConcordCarpenter]

[@paulstevenson8979]

Bosch have carbide holesaws with multi teeth. Speed for multiconstrucion which have carbide teeth and also sheet metal. On top of this they have bi metal and diamond that fit the quick change arbor

[@brians5539]

It’s always hard going through stuff like that. You can’t help but say to yourself but I might need it someday only to realize you’ve been holding on to all that junk for 15yrs waiting for that “some day”. That Milwaukee kit looks cool, I was in Lowe’s the other day and a Lenox kit for $89 caught my eye. I’ll have to consider this one.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

I know - I try to give some of it to younger guys.

[@gregmiller7038]

Just add a couple of Diablo threaded inserts (the part that’s threads on one end and a hex on the other, stays in the cup) and go to town using the Diablo arbor.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Diablos arbor is SWEET - I had one in the box

[@bobcougar77]

You need to look at the Spyder arbor. Its an absolute game changer. Its actually fun to release plugs with the thing. I smile everytime thinking of the old caveman techniques I used to use.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

will do

[@charlesking678]

The best hole saw kit is the spyder carbide hole saw kits. They cut eject the disc left in the hole saw and cut like butter. If you get a chance do a video on them. They are awesome!

[@ConcordCarpenter]

I've heard that from a few folks. when Spyder first came out I thought they were gimmicky - Ill look at it again

[@patrickcallahan2210]

On sale at Depot for $100.

[@KleinGuyJon]

Great Video Rob!

[@RanDom-pl7fx]

can you do another review on them now you have had them for around a year.

[@mikemorgan5015]

You can get the adapters that will mate with the hole saws so you can use the quick connects. DON'T USE THE QUICK CONNECTS FOR SMALL HOLE SAWS! Make sure the hole saw diameter is larger than the release sleeve. When the hole saw breaks through and you bottom out on the quick release sleeve, it pops right off and through your new hole. Don't ask me how I know that........Haha! If that's the only kind you have... duct tape it together to prevent what happened to me. Unfortunately, it was lost in a space where there was no access from the other side. Some lessons are learned the hard way....

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Good info - thanks for comment

[@emilpettersson5866]

Look up PRO-FIT hole saws, the best Ones I ever used

Would You Get Diablo Carbide Hole Saws Please For A Review??

[@ConcordCarpenter]

I should do that!!!

[@flushometer19_8]

Of Course Please

[@donnysanner342]

I've found out less is more ... sometimes. This kits needs a little improvement before I drop my hard earned pesos down it... however it is a step in the right direction.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Donny Sanner I’m curious what would you like to see added to the kit

[@donnysanner342]

@@ConcordCarpenter wow , being ask my opinion by one of the masters in the trade is humbling. Rob I wouldn't add much however I would certainly add the quick connects as you've already stated....get with the times Milwaukee. I bleed Milwaukee red and truth be told I think we should get a little more for the premium prices we pay for sometimes mediocre products ( not these particular hole saws) There is plenty room in there for a 3" and 4" hole saw.....maybe I'm just way off base...idk. Come on Milwaukee give up a little more of the cake for the guy who buys once and cries once and is trying to put two girls through college. We pay $20 to $40 more for Milwaukee tools than dare we say the a comparable DeWalt set...it seems as though Milwaukee is focused on power power power for their 18v platform.....thank God for the 12v line. Sorry for getting off topic and me going on a rant. Great vid Rob and pls keep the vids coming.

[@Emc34567]

Hey Rob I loved the intro of the video, greetings bro

[@aquaticadventures5088]

Just wondering if you have chucked one of these into the drill press without the pilot bit? I am trying to find something to make roughly 3.75" round blanks, I am currently using a standard 4" hole saw which makes 3.815" blanks but with that style of teeth it makes the blanks very rough on the outer edges which costs me more time sanding... they don't make a 3-3/4" plug cutter so was hoping maybe these big hawgs would yield plug cutter type results. Any help is greatly appreciated!

[@ConcordCarpenter]

No I haven’t - interesting idea

[@aquaticadventures5088]

@@ConcordCarpenter what do the slugs from these usually look like? Are they pretty smooth or usually pretty chewed up?

[@gusbenson1083]

I know your video is over a year old but I want to make a comment if you don't mind. I love watching your videos I've learned so much by watching them.. my comment is have you ever tried the spyder carbide tip hole saws which are made in the United States. I think from personal experience you would take them hands down over the Milwaukee which are made in China.. they still have the old school arbor but it has a fast plug ejecting you would be impressed .let me know what you think

[@ConcordCarpenter]

Actually the Milwaukee hole saws are made outside of Memphis TN - I’ve been to the factory. Yes I’ve used Spyderco - good product

[@gusbenson1083]

@@ConcordCarpenter my mistake then sorry about that but I could have thought they were made in China again I apologize

how do these big hawg carbide hold up cutting holes in plaster walls?

[@ConcordCarpenter]

well!

[@theJonnymac]

@@ConcordCarpenter Thanks! I'll check them out. I burned through a hole saw with 1 cut last time and a $30 dollar hole is pretty expensive.

[@electroluxlad]

A professional plumber can’t use the quick disconnects like the Diablo due to the fact that it will strip those bits out once you bind it up with the hole hawg

[@ConcordCarpenter]

didnt know that

[@electroluxlad]

@@ConcordCarpenter theres too much stress on the threads cant hold alot of torque

[@farrierss1724]

Was kind of waiting for it to make a hole.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

sorry man - this is a "tips" video not a tool review.

[@noskills9577]

Rob - there’s too much play in those quick change arbours, the Bosch ones have gone downhill in quality quite a lot in the last 5 years of me buying them. Might be ok for bashing through joists but they suck for electrical or precise woodwork.

[@ConcordCarpenter]

good to know

[@kevinwalsh336]

Hey Rob ,does it make for a better cut and does it have the same tendency to bind especially on the larger diameter holes?

[@ConcordCarpenter]

less binding a slightly rougher cut.....but faster

[@kevinwalsh336]

@@ConcordCarpenter thanks Rob!

[@ZunarZulfiqar]

Until the day someone makes an exploding style holesaw where the body splits to allow the plug to drop out, I won't be satisfied.

[@necrojoe]

Interesting...like the face of a demigorgon?

[@JB-ez2jz]

Check out Spyder arbors. They don't split but the way they back off the work the material stays on the pilot bit and saw slides right off. There's a couple of other Awesome features. Search em on here

[@alexanderdesfosses]

If you spin it fast enough they will explode trust me

[@JB-ez2jz]

Rob buy the Spyder arbors from Lowes to go with those awesome saws. You'll never go back. Do the research on them "Spyder" you can actually use 2 hole saws at once in case you need to make a bigger hole or even go on an angle. They are a game changer for hole saws for our crew! Check em out

You were tired of your old set of holesaws so you just bought new ones with another case to clutter up your shop. Then did not even like the holesaws. WHY!!!!
