Overview

The Spyder 600925 is a nine-piece TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) hole saw kit built around Spyder's Tarantula design — a saw geometry that uses carbide "fangs" rather than conventional bi-metal teeth. The practical implication of carbide tipping is substantial: where bi-metal teeth soften and dull when cutting through hardened materials like stainless steel, fasteners embedded in lumber, or abrasive fiber cement board, carbide retains its cutting edge through dramatically more material. Spyder's 50x more cuts claim reflects this edge retention differential against standard bi-metal in those hard materials. The five included sizes — 1", 1-1/8", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", and 2" — target the dimension range used most in electrical rough-in, plumbing stub-outs, HVAC penetrations, and lockset installation.

The Rapid Core Eject Arbor system is the workflow differentiator in daily use. Traditional hole saws trap the cut plug inside the cup, requiring a screwdriver inserted through the access slots to lever it out — interrupting pace and occasionally bending the pilot bit. Spyder's push-rod ejector clears the plug in one motion, keeping you moving on production framing or renovation work. The kit's Hex8 and Hex10 arbor pair handles both small and large saw diameters appropriately, and the universal thread means the saws aren't stranded if an arbor wears out. The hard case is a genuine field benefit — carbide is brittle enough that loose rattling in a tool bag will chip teeth over time, and organized storage extends kit life significantly.

Key Features

Kit includes 5 hole saws: 1, 1-1/8, 1-3/8, 1-1/2, and 2-inch, 2 HSS pilot bits: Hex8 and Hex10, 2 arbors: Hex10 and Hex8, and a hard case

Tarantula TCT hole saws cut 10x faster and make up to 50x more cuts than standard bi-metal hole saws

Cut steel, stainless steel, wood with nails, plastics/PVC, non-ferrous metals, fiber cement board, fiberglass, mineral fiber, and more

Rapid Core Eject Arbor System lets you eject cores without prying, quickly change diameter, cut at an angle, and enlarge existing holes

Universal thread uses Spyder arbor/pilot bits or other universal hole saw arbors

Frequently Asked Questions

The Tarantula TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) teeth are rated for stainless steel and steel. Carbide retains its edge at the elevated temperatures generated cutting hard steel where bi-metal teeth anneal and dull rapidly. That said, cutting speed and bit pressure still need to be controlled — carbide is harder but more brittle than bi-metal, so forcing the cut creates fracture risk.
The Rapid Core Eject Arbor uses a push-rod mechanism built into the arbor shaft. After completing a through-cut, you actuate the ejector to push the captured plug out of the saw cup — no screwdriver, no prying, no stopping to fish out the core. It also allows quick diameter swaps between the included hole saws without fully disassembling the arbor.
Yes. The kit includes both Hex8 and Hex10 arbors, which are hex-shank formats compatible with standard keyless and keyed drill chucks and quick-change chuck systems. The universal thread on the hole saws also accepts other standard hole saw arbors if you have existing tooling.
Hex10 handles the larger diameter saws in the kit (up to 2 inch) where torque loads are higher, while Hex8 is suited to the smaller diameters. Using the correctly sized arbor for each saw reduces wobble and improves cut concentricity at the larger diameters.
Yes — the Rapid Core Eject Arbor system supports angled cuts, which is useful for plumbing rough-ins and conduit entry points where a perpendicular bore isn't feasible. The arbor's design accommodates the lateral stress of off-axis cutting better than standard arbors.
