It is a pretty bold move to put a Lifetime warranty of any kind on a hole saw. By definition “bi-metal” hole saws are designed to go through various different materials. This is certainly the first time we’ve heard of any company willing to replace a hole saw for a tooth break for any reason, typically a tooth break would be considered “user error” and be deemed void of warranty. It is clean Milwaukee has developed something special with the Hole Dozer Hole Saws and not afraid to put their money where their mouth is.
These new Milwaukee Hole Saws should be on store shelves now and beyond this really outstanding warranty Milwaukee has a very tough job of actually getting the faithful Lenox, Dewalt, Morse, etc to give their new Hole Dozers a shot. Looks like Milwaukee has resorted to good old fashion bribery with one of the richest Mail-In Rebates (full PDF) we’ve seen ever on hole saws. If you purchase $100 in Hole Dozers you can get the Milwaukee Jobsite Backpack 48-22-8200 ($100) or Electrician Tool Belt 48-22-8110 ($100). Very nice free items at the $25 and $50 levels as well which if all that doesn’t get you to at least give them a shot, not sure much will.
Just for good measure to get the word out there will also be a Hole Dozer Sweepstakes starting Monday January 12th – March 31st to with a Bobcat S570 Skid-Steer, Bobcat 3400 UTV and Bobcat E32i Excavator. Enter to win those prizes at www.milwaukeetool.com/holedozer-sweepstakes

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Tool has redefined its commitment to deliver game-changing solutions for the professional with the introduction of the new Milwaukee® Hole Dozer™ bi-metal hole saw. Inspired by its namesake the bulldozer, the Hole Dozer™ is the most durable hole saw on the market, built to withstand the most punishing applications. Equipped with the first ever lifetime warranty against tooth breaks, this hole saw brings unmatched durability and increased productivity to users across every trade.
“Bi-metal hole saws are unique, as they are a trusted hole making solution across a broad range of users. These users demand bi-metal hole saws that can cut through a breadth of materials for many different applications” said Ryan Rudzinski, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Resulting from extensive jobsite research, the Milwaukee® Hole Dozer™ delivers where all other hole saws have not. We were able to bring a fresh perspective to the category through a focus on the three main user needs when it comes to bi-metal hole saws: durability, life and plug removal.”
Durability is critical to get through a range of both soft and hard materials that come in a variety of thicknesses, and accommodate different user drilling techniques. Teeth need to stay on a hole saw while cutting in any of these materials, allowing the user to complete each job. The Hole Dozer™ features Rip Guard™, the strongest tooth form in the industry, backed by the Rip Guard™ Limited Lifetime Tooth Break Warranty— a first for the hole saw industry. This unrelenting, best-in-class durability makes the Hole Dozer™ the most durable hole saw, period.
Each tooth is built with more steel behind the cutting edge for added strength. The added tooth strength along with 8% cobalt give added life to the teeth, allowing for increased productivity on the jobsite, as well as continued hole quality.
For cuts that create plugs of material that become lodged in the hole saw, plug access can mean the difference between a quick cut and a frustrating loss of time. The Hole Dozer™ includes Plug Jack™, an all access slot design that allows full access during plug removal. The Plug Jack™ gives access lower into the cup for thick material and higher towards the teeth for thin material. With multiple positions to apply leverage and better plug access, Plug Jack™ increases productivity and eliminates wasted downtime between holes.
Made in the USA, the Hole Dozer™ will come in 56 different diameters in a range of 9/16” to 6,” as well as in a variety of general purpose and specialty mix kits.
