Has anyone used the spot weld cutters that Eastwood sells? They have two styles, one that is like a drill bit, and one that is like a small hole saw. Does one type work better than the other? How about durability?

I have both types in my tool box but I lean tward the solid drill style cutter. The hole saw type is a little tender but the drill can be wriggled around a bit to get it cutting without any trouble. Hole saws like flat surfaces, something seldom found on a spot welded panel. Just my two cents

I use the one that looks like a small hole saw. Works great providing: a sharp center punch is used in the middle of the spot weld to keep the tip from wandering and the surface must be flat. Uneven surfaces can cause the bit to wander, eliciting swear words. When the hole saw won't work, I will heat the spot weld with my torch and use an air chisel to separate.

Thanks guys. I was leaning towards the drill bit style one and it looks like that is probably the better way to go.
