Cheap but nasty
Let's start with the pros.1) It's cheap.2) It comes with all the parts shown in the photos.3) nope, that's all, there is no third.Now for the cons1) sometimes cheap doesn't come with cheerful2) cutting teeth are so blunt, you could probably take them on a flight with no questions asked.3) one of the pins in the brace plate fell out as soon as I picked it out of the packaging4) the arbor managed to round off the keyhole on the bit, in less than 30 seconds. I was drilling a hole through some regular 18mm plywood. It didn't even last long enough to finish cutting the 1st hole.5) The pilot drill doesn't sit centrally in arbor so you get an eccentric drilling action until the bit finally gums it's way into the workpiece.6) the locknut keeps coming undone, further causing the bit to spin on its arbor.Overall, this is a terrible quality product. Unless you wish to drill holes in sand or cheese, I'd probably suggest avoiding this product.

If you knows of a better 'ole, go to it.
It worked well enough, cut the hole I needed, and it was cheap, but the cutters are of poor quality and where the arbor and flat base of the cutter and the piece holding the drive pins came together, everything bent. It's as if, at this price, what you're paying for is Amazon's excellent delivery service.There are no instructions printed on the packaging or included, which wasn't a problem for me. It had the size of cutter I needed. But only lasting long enough to cut one hole? Not really a waste, but I can't recommend it.

BEWARE
I ordered this item just for the 70mm holesaw. What has arrived is completely different set of holesaws.The make is now Dexton and the 70mm saw I required is now a 72mm. Only 2mm different but I required an exact 70mm. therefore what has been delivered is completely uselessIf you buy this item beware, what you get will not be what is in the item description. In my case a waste of £5.19.

I bought these hole saws to cut holes in a plasterboard ceiling to install downlighters, this is exactly what it says on the description, they are a cheap and cheerful tool but very effective, for the price if you only use them once they are value for money. Other people have complained that the saws became blunt after cutting holes in plywood but the product description clearly says that they are designed for use on plasterboard and other soft materials and described as for downlighter installation, this is what they do and they do it very well indeed. I have only given four stars because one of my blades was eccentric but when used to cut ceiling board they are truly a five star product. I cut thirteen holes in fifteen minutes at less than 40p per hole and I still have five blades unused!

Could be better.
Does the job but could be better. Be prepared for the fact that cut-outs stick in the tool and the only way to get them out is to beat them out from the back using the drill fitting; hence you have to remove from drill, disassemble, beat out and reassemble between each hole. Also the back locking plate is too soft. It bends on every use and has to be straightened to refit each time. I wonder how many times it can stand this before it breaks. No real problem if you only have a few holes to cut, but if I were using it every day I wouldn't be impressed.

You get what you pay for
These are okay, don't expect them to last very long. After drilling a few holes in 1.5" chipboard they are noticably blunter, fortunately I don't need them again now so they served their purpose and for the price I'm not that concerned.When first arrived the chuck and bolt were missing so did have to return it for a new one

Didn’t last for more than one hole
Disappointed with this Product, once again the drive for lower cost seems to have resulted in materials that aren’t fit for purpose. One hole drilled and the arbour hole rounded completely leaving me with a spinning drill, a still cutter and a red face in front of the waiting electrician there to install the lights.

Great kit
Bought this kit for downlighter installation in porch. Blades cut softwood easily, leaving very smooth hole, perfect for the lights & PIR I used.
