The Item in My Kit
I bought KATA Hole Saw Kit as part of my camper van equipment.
The roof wiring involved making openings in boxes before adding fittings and glands. This hole-saw kit is part of my purchased cutting tools for comparing circular-hole formats.
Making Room for the Roof-Box Fittings
- I drilled the junction boxes for threaded PVC fittings.
- I fitted glands for light wires and the camera cable along the roof route.
- My cutting purchases included a hole-saw assortment with several circular diameters.
My Experience With This Tool
By Steven Smith
This is a great inexpensive set and very good value. The hole saws and attachments held up to heavy use in my van build, and I had no problems cutting wood, plastic and lighter metal. In my experience, cutting metal wore the teeth much faster than cutting wood or plastic.
I used the set to cut holes in my undermount plastic water tank for the hose connections in my plumbing system. I also used it for the shore power receptacle opening in the side of the van and for various holes in the wood inside.
Anywhere I needed a neat round hole, I reached for this set. It was one of my good-value Amazon purchases: a solid, inexpensive kit that got the job done without buying something overly expensive.

Hey, I’m Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. This inexpensive KATA hole saw kit got a lot of use in my van build. From my water tank to the shore power opening, it gave me a useful selection of round holes without buying an overly expensive kit.
The kit brings together circular saw cups, mandrels and pilot bits. The different diameters let me choose a round opening for the job. The saw cup cuts the perimeter, while the pilot bit establishes the center.
One job was my undermount plastic water tank. I used the set to cut holes for the hose connections in my plumbing system. That is one of the practical jobs behind my review of this kit.
I also used it for the shore power receptacle opening in the side of the van, and for various holes in the wood inside. Anywhere I needed a neat round hole, I reached for this set.
The saws and attachments held up to heavy use. I had no problems cutting wood, plastic and lighter metal. Metal did wear the teeth much faster than wood or plastic in my experience, so the material made a difference to how the cutting edges lasted.
My full review shows the KATA kit I bought, along with Luckyway and DEWALT hole saw kits as alternatives to compare. Those alternatives are separate options, rather than the kit behind my own build experience.
Thanks for watching. I’m Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom. For the round openings I needed during my conversion, this KATA set was a solid, inexpensive purchase that got the job done. Read the full review for my experience, product pictures and alternatives. See you on the next project.
