Overview
The Klein Tools Bi-Metal Hole Saw, 1-1/2-Inch (31017) cuts precise 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) holes in stainless steel, mild steel, drywall, ceiling tile, laminates, wood and plastic. This is a bi-metal hole saw designed for electrical, mechanical and general construction work where one cutter has to handle metal and softer materials alike.
A 1-1/2" (3.8 cm) cup is a size you end up needing across trades. Klein's weighs 2.6 oz (74 g), with a 2" (5.1 cm) cutting depth.
Steel is the hard part of any hole saw's job, and that is what this 1-1/2" bi-metal cutter is optimized for. The variable 4/6 TPI VARI-RAKER ET tooth pattern helps it cut fast and consistently in metal, and it handles softer materials like wood, plastic and ceiling tile without complaint.
Stuck plugs waste more time than cutting does. The access slots in this 1-1/2" cup are arranged to give you clearance and leverage, so the plug comes out with a nudge rather than a fight.
A heavy-duty, thicker back plate keeps the 1-1/2" cup true and durable. On the drill, it threads onto a traditional arbor or snaps onto the Klein Tools quick-release arbor for faster changes. Arbor not included.
Nearby Klein bi-metal hole saw sizes include the 1-3/8" (31016) and 1-3/4" (31018), if your layout calls for a different diameter.
Who should buy it: pros who need a dependable steel-cutting 1-1/2" hole saw, and serious DIYers who would rather buy one bi-metal saw than burn through cheaper cups.

Pro Tip
Clear the plug after every hole rather than stacking cuts. A packed cup cuts slower and heats up, and the access slots make clearing it a few seconds of work.
