Don't waste your money:

I'm a homeowner who has installed a LOT of door locks. When faced with a project to install 7, I thought this tool would at least take away a little of the pain. It didn't. In retrospect, all it did was make the easiest part of door lock installation no easier than it already was. I used it for the first 2 locks, then put it in the yard sale box.
The fit of the hole saws is sloppy, and the tool hides the hole saw so you can't see where you are or where you're headed. It's just as easy and even more... more info

Made a tough job easy:

I recently purchased a 1930's home, and the first thing we wanted to do was change the locks.

Need separate mandrel for smaller bimetal hole saw:

I agree with mandrel limitation. I can't separate the adapter from the mandrel and can't use it on the smaller bi-metal hole saw. There is only one mandrel plus adapter.

To fit the large bimetal hole saw you need the mandrel plus adapter. To fit the small bitmetal hole saw, you need the mandrel without the adapter. There is no hex around the adapter to make... more info

Satisfaction with a smile.:

I own another unit that was more costly than this door installation kit; however, it is designed for wooden doors and not bi-metal.
I own plenty of DeWalt tools that I am very happy with, and it was a natural for this selection.
This less-expensive tool allows me to use either unit as required.
