Harbor Freight isn’t exactly known for good hole saw sets, and until now they haven’t had anything that would be a good fit for anyone much outside of a weekend warrior. That looks to be changing with the newest addition to their Hercules brand with the 13 piece Bi metal hole saw set.
My thoughts: This is a very nice looking set and appears to be a nice upgrade from the current offerings from Harbor Freight. With a blue blow molded plastic storage case, M42 high speed steel cutting edges, and an enamel finish to help prevent corrosion, these should be an excellent choice for anyone who needs a good set on a budget.
Features and Specifications:
- Alloy steel body is electronic beam welded to M42 high speed steel cutting edge for tougher, longer lasting teeth
- Variable tooth set for less vibration
- Slotted for easy plug removal
- Pilot bit with 135º split point for fast, skate-free drilling
