    Seriously a life saver ... twice now because I use hole saws so infrequently and forgot how I did this the first time. Each time I think "this isn't going to come off easily" and it actually does. Thanks so much!

    I was working on my first slab door yesterday and cut the door knob hole. I could not get the hole saw off so I could use the 1" saw for the latch whole and I was so disappointed. I am challenging myself on home fixit stuff as I am gaining more interest in doing things right and using new tools. But this got me down. I am so glad to know others out there are experiencing this issue. I have not tried this but I will. Good video and thanks!

    Count me among the converted! I tried the hammer method and got nowhere. I tried the unsafe method where I inserted a screwdriver into the hole saw side holes and tried to run my drill in reverse. All that did was bend the screwdriver and deform the holes in the saw bit. Finally got an impact hammer and it came off in literally 3 seconds, just holding it still with some gloves. Thanks for sharing and demonstrating!

    I have the worst of those Milwaukee Hole Dozer Kits. It is the 49-22-4009- 9 Bi Metal piece Hole Dozer kit. I had to use the adapter pieces on the 2 1/2" Hole Dozer blade. After use, was fully froze up on the 3/8" arbor and the insertion nut and washer flange part also. Had to set my Milwaukee Fuel Gen 3 - 1/4" Impact Driver on full impact setting. Took a craftsman 11/32-1/4" female insertion socket to be tight enough on the 3/8" arbor head. Had too break and remove the 3/8" arbor first. Then second part of removal, it took a Craftsman 19MM- 3/8"- female insertion socket on the screw in nut. Both had to be removed in a reverse mode. I had my three Milwaukee 1/4" Drive, one with a 1/2"" male Square socket/ a 3/8" male Square socket and 1/4" male Square socket. Glad I had bought them. Fitted my Craftsman sockets just fine. Glad I will not need to use these blades very often.

    Thank you for the advice! A 9mm socket ended up being the best fit - 3/8th was loose, 5/16th wouldn't fit. So 1/4 inch socket adapter necessary. Would not come off even with my impact driver, even after hitting it with some penetrating oil. So, clamp it into my vise. I had to threaten it with my 1/2 inch impact wrench, the thing I use to take off stubborn lug nuts. I mean "threaten", because I decide to hit it with my impact driver one last time with the big boy right there, and this time it came off. Was afraid that the wrench would break the adapter. I have a Milwaukee impact driver, it's rated at more force per impact than many actual impact wrenches. This was after hurting myself a couple times trying to use a big screwdriver and wrench, hammer, the drill in reverse, etc... One thing I'm wondering about: What if we hit up the arbors with a bit of anti-seize compound before putting them together? Might that not make them easier to take apart in the future?

  • @chrishamberg8028
    @chrishamberg80282 жыл бұрын

    The idea works, but I did it differently because the way you are doing it seems like a good way to cut your hand off. I camped the hole saw to a wood pallet such that the biting part of the clamp was on the interior diameter of the hole saw, and used a ratchet instead of a power tool. It took a good pull on it, but it came off. I tried with wrenches first, then looked up a guy suggesting the hammer. Neither of those worked for my 4.5" hole saw. I actually tried the hammer method 3 times, and the final time I was hitting it very hard. Ratcheting it off works very well.
