This is a phenomenal deal for the hole saw set that's packout! Add the blades and it's a no brainier if you are in the packout system. Just waiting on a deal on the packout socket sets

Nice deal, the quick change arbor itself is already around $20.

If you are mostly interested in the hole dozers, this set is 39.97 when added to cart:

Thanks for posting this! I ordered this kit a few months ago but they cancelled the order before I could pick it up. I'm finally going to start my project in a couple of weeks so this was good timing.

For anyone that has any other packouts, it's worth paying the extra $10 for the better case. The blades are just freebies after that.

Apples and oranges. The Packout kit has fewer pieces than even the 10 piece Hole Dozer set let alone the 13 piece. It isn't $10 more, it is an inferior set, and most of the value has to go into the Packout case.

You're getting half a Hole Dozer set, half a saw blade set, and a Packout case. Is it a good deal? I have no idea, but I'd prefer a fuller Hole Dozer set, because you just know that the hole size you need will be missing with this.

I had this kit in my cart and then went with the 13 piece hole dozer set. The case and recip blades aren't as valuable to me as the extra hole saws and I can buy a small blade set with the $10 savings.

The case alone is a $25 purchase so you are only paying $25 for the partial hole saw kit and blades. not to mention you could change that foam up for the missing sizes you may need later. I think if you have invested in Packout storage it makes it much easier.

I have the wall hanger and a few storage units hanging on my wall so this can just add to that as well.

May be a stupid question but what exactly is the pack out case? What's so special about it?

It is a well regarded branded tool case that snaps to other Packout branded cases. Two of this sized case will make a "layer" in a Packout stack.

Packout is Milwaukee's branding for their storage system. Most pieces have a dovetail system so that you can stack them or hang them in place on the bottoms and lids. Its super handy and they continue to introduce new pieces to the system.

Others have explained what they are, but my opinion is I find them only worth the markup if you are a tradesman. As a homeowner they are kinda outrageously priced and the added functionality of the 13 piece hole saw kit is better.
