No need to spend that much. He's one for half the price:

ROTH PLUMBERS 9 PCE HOLESAW KIT 114202 C | Heating Supplies | Plumbing Supplies | Plumbing Tools

I've got this Bosch one and it's good enough for me

BOSCH 9 PIECE HSS BIMETAL PLUMBERS HOLESAW SET 19MM - 57MM & PILOT DRILLS BNIB ! 3165140641708 | eBay

what ever kit you buy ill gaurantee it will not contain the size you wont and youll have to buy an extra cutter

This is the kit I've got Starrett KS2000P Plumbers Holesaw Kit

Hack/Hole Saws & Tap Reseaters

This is my one and its yet to fail me, has all the right sizes including the all important bath tap drilling one.

The Bosch hole saws are great, they seem to last a lot better than the cheapy ones as well.

Bosch or Starret at a minimum.
The cheapo ones are ok if you are going through soft stuff, ie plasterboard fascia etc.
Try one a worktop or astracast sink, and it will have less teeth left than Shane Macgowan!!

I have recently upgraded from a toolstation jobbie to a rothenburger set and have been suitably impressed.

I recently bought the Bosch set which has a quick change function and it's brilliant. I used the 50mm one on a cast iron gutter to cut an outlet and it went through it no problem and still remained sharp and usable. The Bosch carbide hole saws are the best in my opinion.

Don't waste your holesaws on sinks. Use a nail punch or an old screwdriver or whatever you like and punch the hole through (on an astrocast) that is what the dot is for, to show you where to hit it.

I've had a bosch Bi-metal set for a while and must say im more than pleased.

For drilling stone this is the PORSADRILL all in one system, for granite, marble, stone, glass, tiles, porcelain, travertine, pottery, slate.



Sizes accept all gas pipes (22mm and 28mm) copper 15mm pipes, 40mm and 32mm waste outlets.
Plus a selection of cores for 6mm and 8mm rawl plugs



Packs are marked out with what the cores do, and full instructions on the back of the pack.



Only works in STONE
Does not work on steel
Does not work on wood
Does not work on plastic

I have a tendency to just buy the sizes I need and a couple of arbors. I'd like some more suited to metal with more and finer teeth but haven't found any that suited yet.

The Lenox brand are real good quality, you need to keep dipping them in cutting oil if you are to be drilling through metal girders etc.
