  • Publication number: 20230347425
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a hole saw and an arbor assembly removably coupled to the hole saw. The arbor assembly includes a shank having a first end, a second end opposite the first end and configured to be coupled to a power tool, a body between the first and second ends, and an longitudinal axis extending centrally through the shank between the first and second ends. The body includes a recess. The arbor assembly also includes a sleeve supported by the shank, the sleeve including a central bore that receives the shank and a locking member positioned in the central bore, the locking member formed as a single, monolithic piece with a remainder of the sleeve, the sleeve moveable between a first position, in which the locking member engages the recess, and a second position, in which the locking member is spaced apart from the recess.

  • Publication number: 20230054585
    Abstract: A drilling tool includes a drive assembly with a shank that is configured to couple to a power tool and a step drill bit. The step drill bit includes a body having a proximal end adjacent the shank, a distal end opposite the proximal end, and a bit axis extending centrally through the body between the proximal end and the distal end. The body is defined by a wall extending around the bit axis to define a hollow interior cavity of the body. The step drill bit also includes a plurality of axially stacked, progressively sized steps with a first step at the proximal end and a terminal step at the distal end and a flute extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The flute defines a cutting edge.
