Freud DHSAR375 Diablo Hole Saw 3/8 Mandrel Quick Change w/Pilot

great tool, makes moving from one hole saw to another with ease at first. how after a few uses it seems to lock up somewhat, making it difficult to actually lock the hole saw onto this. I can still make it work, however with the amount of time I struggle removing the hole saw to use another one I could properly just change the whole thing out faster then trying to get this tool to work like it first did.

This tool served the purpose for which it was purchased. Great tool, great value, great overall.

Works great. So easy to set up vs a typical hole saw set.

This works great and easy swapping to other brand of hole saws too

Theres a MAJOR design flaw in the provided adapter nuts included with the quick change. If youre using the quick change with Freud/Diablo hole saws that are meant for it, in other words the hole saw arbor nut is welded to the hole saw, these are a great tool to have and work great. HOWEVER, if you use the provide adapter nuts on older hole saws, if for any reason you need to reverse the drill (since there are no pins holding the hold saw in place) the adapter nut just simply unscrews leaving your hole saw stuck in place. Additionally, if you use a larger hole saw with the adapter nut, you MUST NOT release the drill trigger once you start drilling your pilot hole because the flywheel motion of the hole saw weight allows the hole saw to unscrew rapidly and fly off the adapter nut if you stop the drill, potentially CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. This flaw SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY FREUD by somehow adding locking pins to this system.

Used the product in a DIY project. Works well, built well.

Had the mandrel for my Diablo hole saw kit break and just needed to replace that. This works great and was not only a perfect fit for the various hole saws, but also was an exact fit in the case they came in.

The fit of the pilot drill in the mandrel allows way too much lateral play.

The hole saw powered right thru the 2 thick walnut without the cutout sticking inside the blade. I have made thousands of items and am not easily impressed by tools. Good job Freud!

The drill bit that came with the hole saw mandrel broke the first time I used it...with the first minute! I am checking with Amazon for a free replacement. It should not break that quickly or easily. I think it was defective.
