I have a 3/4" one. I think it might still have some life left. I've used it 4 times, so it is getting to the end of it useful life.

I do know that both Jeff and Adam drill tanks for people. I thought about buying diamond hole saws for the club, but as Rob pointed out they don't last very long.

I know that Gary (Elmer's) told me awhile back that they would lend out a hole saw if someone wanted to drill their own tank but that they didn't drill anymore. Granted that was awhile ago. Maybe call and ask.

I'm working in beaver valley right now and I'll be in the city on Sunday. I'd be more then willing to meet somewhere closer if Wexford is too far.

I would buy a new one.. never use a used one. IMO
I never used the sizes that he's asking for. They're good for a couple holes each anyway. They were cheap though, only paid like $12 for a set of 15 off of eBay. They've worked great the handful of times that I've used them.

I have one for 3/4" bulkhead, only used for 1 hole. It is still perfectly fine to drill a few more holes. I would never drill one hole and toss it out. I can bring to next meeting.
