> 3 dayI needed the 6 3/8 hole saw to install a duct for a range hood through four kitchen cabinets. The Koopi is a heavy duty unit, accent on heavy, and the one I received seems round and well balanced. Learn-by-doing experience: I found that my 20 volt Dewalt drill is adequate for this saw, but I wouldnt want to use anything smaller. The saw is unwieldy to use, especially in the top of a wall cabinet where keeping the saw parallel to the cutting surface is a challenge. Using the drills clutch to keep the drill from spinning dangerously when the teeth bind in the wood was the only way I could manage it. This way when the saws position isnt just right the drill clutch engages; when the hole saw is correctly placed the teeth do their job fairly well. It did take some time to cut each 1/2 inch deep hole--and my high end Dewalt drill got very hot--but the saw worked well. Ive cut seven plywood holes so far and the saws teeth dont seem too worn yet. This is a pretty good tool for something I only need for one job.
