The photos show two cutter bits as well. I added a -3 for false advertising. What matters is the consumer doesn't get what they thought they were getting.What about the product I did receive. What you receive is a set of single cutter bits.
Thus a final rating of 2. It doesn't really matter who botched it. The center feed spur is long enough that, at least for this size, it would start at that angle and pull the bit down in. I used the 2-9/16" bit first for some 2" waste plumbing. I then followed this with drilling a couple 1-1/4" holes at a 45 degree angle. The product description states "Two-cutter design on even the smallest bits for improved efficiency".
I don't know if it is Amazon that bungled it, or DeWalt pulled a fast one and downgraded the product without changing the model information. It is very good. Obviously this wouldn't work on the largest bits as the spur isn't long enough.So overall, I rate the product a 5. The work was remodel on older construction, so the 2x's were well dried. This is not true. Granted they are new and not yet had their first encounter with a nail, but boy do they chew through wood.
It's a shame really, I probably would have ordered these bits anyway even if the product description and photos had been accurate. It dug through the wood very agressively.
I own A LOT of Dewalt tools, so I expected to get a good quality set when I ordered this item. The set doesn't just look great though, it works as good as it looks.A real pleasure to use. When it arrived, I was actually fairly suprised at just how good the fit and finish of the set actually is. Every once in a while, you come across something that as soon as you open it, you just know it's going to work great.
Dewalt has changed the product but still uses the same 1649 number Be careful there is only one cutting head now. The other bits were great. Everybody advertises that there are two cutting heads. If you look on the picture that is shown they look shinny the ones you get now are black.
Excellent product, finished a 1/2 hour project in 5 minutes.If you cut holes for plumbing or electrical these are the bits to have.
As a professional contractor I have been using hole saws for many years. Rugged and sharp, I expect many years of good service from these bits. I picked up this set as a back-up, however, it has become the most-used drill set that I reach for. With extra screw heads and the extention it is a truely nice product.
