Detailed Review
The LENOX Tools 1-1/8-Inch Bi-Metal Hole Saw comes pre-arbored to help tradespeople and DIYers cut clean holes in metal quickly. Built as a dedicated drilling accessory, it solves the hassle of slow drilling speeds and stripped teeth when working through tough metal workpieces.
This model features larger, sharper teeth with an optimized geometry engineered to penetrate metal efficiently. The increased wall thickness bolsters overall durability, actively minimizing tooth loss under load. Compared to previous LENOX models, this bi-metal build delivers twice the overall durability along with a fifty percent longer working life.
To save time between cuts, the body incorporates a stepped SPEED SLOT cutout. This staircase design gives you multiple leverage points to quickly eject trapped plugs without needing specialized extraction tools. Because it comes with an integrated arbor, you can chuck it directly into your drill and start working immediately.
As a single 1-1/8-inch fixed-diameter tool, it is strictly suited for projects requiring this specific hole dimension rather than variable sizes. The manufacturer listing focuses on metal cutting performance, so performance details on other materials are not specified.
Verdict: If you need a durable 1-1/8-inch cutter for metalwork that ejects plugs quickly, this bi-metal hole saw is a reliable, ready-to-use choice for your toolbox.
