I used this hole saw kit to drill holes in a granite counter top. It worked well, but I was a little surprised when I realized that the hole saws don't have an arbor or drill bit in the middle to help align them and keep them drilling straight. As I was unable to get my large piece of granite up on a drill press, I first used the bit to drill a hole in a piece of wood then clamped that piece of wood to my counter top as a guide. I then filled the hole with water to cool the hole saw and I was able to drill down through the granite with a hand drill. It worked well, but I was expecting the saws to have a center shaft that would keep the bit centered on a pilot hole. Of course it would have been harder to keep the cooling water against the cutting surface if the bit had had a center arbor.

This product met my expectations and did the job and fast. It was granite countertop drilling, two holes 1.625 diameter for sink and faucet installation. The quality of the blades is decent although I would not call it professional. However for "advanced" and trifty handyman it was just perfect. The holesaw was a. guided by template, b. driven by cordless drill at about 1,200 RPM, c. light pressure was applied and d. lot of water was used during drilling. Drilling through about 1" countertop took about 2 minutes. The weight of the countertop was supported on three points, one, hardwood plank just under the hole. No chipping!

My wife wanted holes drilled into heavy champagne bottles in which to insert miniature Christmas tree lights. I tried carbide bits which broke most bottles or the holes were so ragged they were unusable. These Neiko diamon hole saws are the cat's meow; I have drilled 8 very heavy champagne bottles without any problems. They drill fast and they drill clean. Very good product at a very reasonable price. Or better said: " The right tool for the right job ".
