I was drilling holes in a wire trough for conduits, approximately 30 of them. All i would have had to drill would have been a 1/4" hole for each. Instead I drilled about 25 1" holes and about 5 3/4" ones with a hole saw. Knockout punches tend to do a much better job then hole saws do. Could have used it today.

Of course if you do a lot of this - paying the $800 or so for the hydraulic kit may be worth the investment.
