Milwaukee 49-22-4185 All Purpose Professional Ice Hardened Hole Saw Kit 28 Piece

I ordered this kit due to needing a couple different sized hole saw cutters to put in some dead bolts. I had purchased Milwaukee cutters prior to this but just purchased the individual cutter for the job at hand. I did decide to buy the 28 piece kit because I liked the idea of having all my cutters in 1 easy container to carry to a job and believe this kit will contain every cutter I will ever need. It does. It has every cutter size I needed and probably ever will need. The container is well built and appealing. I didnt know how the drive system to the cutters had changed since I purchased my last individual cutter. The new system has threads in the base of the cutter with 2 pins that are threaded into the cutter from the drive shaft that holds the drill bit. This is the best system Ive seen. I also believe these cutters will take many cuts through metal or wood before beginning to dull. Its a lot of money but its probably the last hole saw kit you will ever need unless you use them daily. Im very satisfied with this kit.

Came with a much cheaper case than pictured....as a lot of other reviews say. The case I got is very cheap and not what is pictured.

As many of the reviewers have already stated the product pictured in the listing is of the older set with a different case. The case you receive now is garbage, I bought this set knowing this. However, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the peg system panel in the bottom is removable along with the container for the loose drill bits. I have already bought into the Milwaukee PACKOUT storage system, so I bought the ”PACKOUT 5-Compartments Small Parts Organizer” for my set. I used some Polyethylene (PE) foam that I laying around to keep the hole saws organized and I recycled the “Container” that came with this set to store the loose drill bits. I am very happy with the way it came out! Milwaukee sells a “ready to go” PACKOUT Hole Saw Set, however the set only comes with 6 hole saws. It took some effort, but now I have 22 hole saws in the same storage foot print. At the end of the day thanks to Amazon’s pricing, in total I still have paid less than MSRP for this “28-Piece” set including the extra PACKOUT storage box.

I saw the smaller kits with 10 and 18 bits at Home Depot in a cheap thin plastic container. So I went on to Amazon and saw this one with a much nicer box. Well the pictures are inaccurate. It seems the images shown in the product description with the rectangular box is the old product version. The new packaging is the same for all Milwaukee hole saw bits, just a very poorly designed flimsy plastic box. Mine came with all parts strewn about the box, instructions ripped and plastic pegs broken (see picture). Although this box is grossly under designed, the early reviews indicate the previous box had its own issues. My take, the product itself is great! Just get a packout to store it all and move along.

Amazon stands behind the products That are sold on there site Very satisfied!!!

Its disappointing that the product arrived in a different case than pictured on the website. The case in which the bits arrived is flimsy and does not keep things organized. Its basically like using an old, plastic lunchbox to carry around your drill bits. The robust-looking case was one of the reasons I selected this drill bit set. I already had a pile of hole saw bits but wanted to buy this set to have all of them in one organized location rather than digging through tool bags. Now Ive got a lunchbox of bits to dig through. Oh well, it was worth a try.

Good set of cutters but the case needs improved.

Use Milwaukee bits in the past the one that you see on the description of amazon. Love that set. This seems to be close but in a smaller case with a cheaper lock on the box so well give it a shot cuz it seems to take up less space in my van.

I bought this set of hole saws last year. For years I’ve maintained an incomplete and ever expanding mixed bag of Milwaukee , Bosch etc. saws of varying sizes and quality it I decided it was time for a more complete, not to mention sharper set and an arbor that worked. This set has satisfied me and even rose above the quality that hoped for. Not all the Milwaukee tools I’ve owned recently have impressed me, the quality like most has tapered off in the last two decades. These hole saws were a pleasant surprise. Well designed arbors, a big enough slot in the side of the saws to insert a screwdriver to remove the plug and most amazing is a box that is big enough that you don’t have to puzzle over exactly which saw stacks in which pile. Top it off with several extra 1/4” pilot bits, Allen wrenches to adjust or remove them. I use them for drilling woods, hard and soft, lots of aluminum and yesterday, which convinced me to review them, a Stainless Steel water tank with the 2” bit. Highly recommended.

The hole saw parts are great. Made short work of some venting routing I had to do over the week. The case they come in is garbage. Milwaukee really should tradition this kit to the pack out platform.
