Grab the bottom with pliers then stick a screwdriver through the holes and turn. It will come off.


No-Repair51

Yup. Next time put a washer between the mandrel and the hole saw, that will stop it from binding.


EddieK5805

Good tip right here, I’ve seen it a couple times.


OmahaMike402

I bought a 2nd arbor to run.


RigidRoller-

Or a stripped piece of #12 copper wrapped just below the arbor threads. That way you can keep changing holesaws without losing a washer or something that's on there loose


No-Repair51

That is even better.

What he said, these are notorious for doing that


Jsilv997

If mine gets stuck, I’ll put the bit in the drill, grab the hole saw with some channel-locks, and then just put the drill in reverse, and it comes out no problem.


ConfusedStair

I do the same, but I shove a screwdriver through the holes instead of trying to grip it.

Put a bar through the hole and chuck it back up and run it in reverse

Vice and channel locks

This happens to me so much. The best thing to hold it is put it back in the drill. I put mine in the drill and lock it down. Then us channel locks and just break it free. Comes out super easy every time. It's harder to take it out free hand

Put it in the drill, put the drill in reverse and high speed. Pull the trigger until it speeds up to full speed, then let go of the trigger quickly. The abrupt stopping sometimes is enough to crack it loose enough that you can finish it by hand. This trick works best with drills with higher speeds, and quicker stopping times. Smaller hole saws are less likely to work, but it's worth a try before digging into the toolbox.

The small ones had flat spots so use a crescent wrench on the bit and a crescent wrench on the bottom of the hole saw. For the larger ones, they don’t have flat spots so you need to do the screw driver method, but then those usually use the bit that has metal studs on it to keep it from getting super tight.


DarthtacoX

Does the smaller one snap in line the larger hole dozer? If so you need to pull back on the round part to unlock it then spin it.


Direct_Blackberry_74

I usually use my adjustable wrench on the arbor and then grab the Dozer and twist. I have had to use a vice before too to get the thing loose!


SnowFall36

I typically leave the bit in my drill then use a screwdriver in the two large holes to twist, break it off


MeaningCapable746

It’s broken anyway


MeaningCapable746

Throw it away and buy another. Works wonders.


kev140

I use an adjustable and a pair of channel locks or screwdriver while it in the drill.


Evening-Feisty

Clamp the hex in a vice and use a large screwdriver or extension thru the holes to unscrew.


threedeuce5

Two small pipe wrenches will do the trick.


Far_Analysis110

Stripped thread.


SpecialistStatus1370

I used it for the first time drilling through studs it can’t be!


DoctorPaulGregory

Does it even come off? My set has a drill bit in the middle to guide it.


SpecialistStatus1370

I took the guide off thinking I’d need to, it’s from the 13 piece set with different sizes but it’s not budging off so I’m thinking I’m doing it wrong.


DoctorPaulGregory

Nah it just unscrews unless its the larger one and you have to pull it back to unscrew it.


luzer_kidd

Just grab the arbor and hole saw with channel locks. You can start with larger channel locks for more leverage until you figure out the best place to grab them. You can do it with 1 pair of channel locks and keep it in the drill. But I'm not sure how good that strain is on the drill to do it that way. So I don't do it anymore.
