The DEWALT D180016IR is a 1-inch impact-ready hole saw that brings speed and durability to everyday hole cutting. Optimized tooth geometry delivers faster drilling speeds, and the hardened backing plate prevents stripping, even when you’re driving it with an impact driver. This size is a favorite among electricians, plumbers, and general contractors for running cable, conduit, or pipe through studs and sheathing.
A 1-inch hole is a common size for many rough-in and finish tasks. The D180016IR cuts quickly through wood, drywall, plastic, and thin metal, leaving a clean edge. The impact-rated design means you don’t have to switch to a drill when your impact driver is already loaded—just connect a standard arbor and go.
High-torque impacts can snap standard arbors and twist saw bodies. DEWALT reinforced this hole saw with a hardened backing plate and impact-rated construction, so it holds up to repeated use on the jobsite. The optimized tooth geometry also keeps the saw on track, reducing wandering and producing more accurate holes.

A 1-inch hole is large enough to pass most cable connectors, conduit, and pipes, yet small enough to keep framing strong. That’s why the D180016IR is a staple for electricians and plumbers every day.
Using an impact driver with a hole saw can dramatically cut your time on the job. This DEWALT model is built to take that abuse, so you can keep working without damaging your equipment.
Start with the pilot bit firmly marked, then let the saw’s teeth do the work. Don’t lean hard on the tool; a steady hand and proper speed produce the cleanest cuts and longest tool life.
Yes, the D180016IR is impact rated and designed to handle the high torque of impact drivers without stripping or deforming.
It uses a standard hole saw arbor with a pilot bit. Choose the arbor size that matches your drill or impact driver chuck.
It can cut thin-gauge metal studs, but for thicker steel you’ll get better results at slower speeds with cutting fluid.
Yes, high-speed steel holds a sharp edge longer than carbon steel, especially when drilling abrasive materials like metal and composite.
I'm an electrician and this 1" hole saw is essential for pulling wire through metal studs. It cuts fast and clean. The deep cut means I can drill through thick boxes without switching to another bit. It hasn't stripped or dulled after many uses. The hex shank fits my impact driver perfectly. Definitely a pro-level tool.
Cuts well, sharp teeth.
I used it to cut holes in aluminum sheet for a project. Works great, no grabbing. Highly recommend.
I'm not a pro, so this was for a one-off job. It cut through drywall and plywood easily. But it struggled a bit on metal. It got hot. I had to go slow. It works, just not perfect.
It cuts true and the teeth are sturdy. I've used it on a few projects. No issues so far.
I bought this because I needed to install a deadbolt. The hole saw cut through my solid oak door like it was balsa wood. The pilot bit kept it centered, and the cut was smooth. I was impressed with the speed. It's obviously well made. I've used it on several other projects since. A great addition to my toolbox.
Fast, clean, worth the price.
This thing tears through metal. I used it on a steel fence post. No problems at all.
I used this to drill into a steel door frame. It cut well but took a while. The pilot bit came out slightly bent after hitting a hard spot. It still works, but it's not as precise. Maybe it was my drill. Overall, for the price it's okay.
I needed to enlarge an existing hole in a metal electrical box. This hole saw made it quick and easy. The cut was clean and the hole is exactly 1 inch. The hardened backing plate prevented any slipping. I'm really happy with this purchase.
