If I wanted to spend some cash I would get the Bosch quick change kit

29mm - 22mm tank conectors, holes in bath for taps.
57mm - strap on bosses
22mm - 15mm tank conectors,float valves
40ish mm for 11/4 waste holes through stuff
50ish mm for 11/2 waste holes through stuff
bigger one for 2" waste holes if needed

if you have to run soil, flues throught stuff then possible need for a 5" and 6" hole saw.

It's carp. Pilot but pops out. As spring and bearing fall out after a week.

ive been using bosch quick change stuff for a few years, never had a problem with them apart from wearing the teeth out.

that said i have the screwfix cheapo set also, tend to use it more know cus the bosch costs more the replace saws when worn.

+1 - I have this kit and it is brilliant. Very easy to get the wooden cores out when you are done.

You sure you don't just have a dodgy one? I've had mine for ages and it's been spot on.

Got 3 of them the middles just fall to bits. Cutters ok. Use starrett more.

 

[Linkyplumb]

Starrett for me.

Buy a set and replace them as they wear down. Mine cost about £20

i don't rate the Bosch quick change ones.

Agree
Cheap ones are better

 

[stevetheplumber]

the dirt cheap ones that have the nut on the back are ok for a lot of stuff plastic thin board plaster board and the set has a lot of sizes for anything harder starret every time
the other advantage with the cheapy one is they fit in a 10mm chuck even the 2+ inch cutters

Starrett are the doberman's danglies. bit more expensive but last so much longer.
