    DeWalt Carbide

    “Cutting through mild and medium steel, the DeWalt definitely seems like the best hole saw but unfortunately, all four teeth experienced significant damage with the armor plating.”

    Diablo Hole Saw

    “The Diablo just shredded the armor plating for nearly 2 minutes before it stopped making progress through the armor plating. Wow, the Diablo did the best yet definitely doing better than the TCT.”
