After drilling a few holes tonight, we hit very close to 1.125" for our hole size. For 7 bucks I think this could be an inexpensive solution for a lot of teams out there that don't have the money or resources to invest in expensive hole drilling options. Plus they ship via Prime!
A holesaw? Be extra carfeul when using those. If you go in too fast, it will grip the metal instead of cutting. What is the spring for? And what is "very close"?
