Faithfull FAIHSKE: what counts as nine pieces in the hole saw kit?

When a case arrives marked “nine piece”, count by category before deciding that something is missing. In Faithfull’s FAIHSKE electricians’ kit, the number includes the arbors and adaptor. Use this checklist to compare the manufacturer’s nominal list with what you receive.

Separate the six saws from the three accessories

The Faithfull FAIHSKE kit page gives this breakdown:

• Six bi-metal hole saws: 16, 20, 25, 32, 40 and 51 mm nominal diameters.
• Two hex arbors: one listed as 3/8 in and one as 7/16 in.
• One arbor adaptor. The maker describes the case separately from the nine counted pieces.

Read the size markings one by one. Six cups in the case is only the first check. For example, two cups marked 25 mm and none marked 32 mm would leave the total unchanged but differ from the nominal list. If a marking is unreadable, record that separately from a part you can confirm is missing.

Check the connection before relying on the kit

The saw diameters describe the cutters. The two inch sizes describe the listed hex arbors. Check the exact drill and its chuck specifications against the arbor you intend to use, and use Faithfull’s guidance for the cutter and material. The word “adaptor” in the kit list describes an arbor accessory. If you need an SDS connection or a spare pilot, ask for the exact part reference and confirm whether it is included or needs a separate order.

Make a record before raising a missing-part query

Keep a photo of the case label and a clear picture of the received components. Put the six diameter readings on one line, the arbor markings on another, and record whether you can identify the adaptor. Note any pilot fitted to an assembly separately from any loose spare. If an item appears absent or carries a different mark, report the actual marking and your order reference so the seller can check the supplied kit revision.
