In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

The ARTU 2-1/2 in. Carbide Grit 2.6 in. L X 3/8 in. D Hole Saw Arbor is engineered to power through tough materials with precision and speed. With a carbide grit edge and a quick-change system, this arbor delivers reliable performance when you need clean, accurate openings without constant tool changes.

  • Carbide Grit Edge: a robust cutting surface designed for aggressive material removal and extended wear life, ideal for hard substrates where traditional teeth dull quickly.
  • 2.6 in. Overall Length and 2-1/2 in. Diameter hole saw capability with a 3/8 in. shank to fit standard chucks and arbors.
  • Quick-Change System: swap cutters in seconds, minimizing downtime on demanding jobs and keeping you productive.
  • Arbor Included: ready-to-use out of the box—no separate components needed for immediate drilling projects.
  • Durable, Fits Real-World Use: built for repeated use in workshop or on-site environments, providing dependable performance under pressure.

Who this is for

Perfect for professional contractors, tile installers, electricians, and experienced DIY enthusiasts who routinely tackle large-diameter holes in tough materials. If your project involves ceramic tile, porcelain, reinforced plastics, or other hard substrates, this arbor helps you achieve clean edges and accurate sizing with less effort.

Why it matters

Reliable hole cutting starts with a solid arbor. The ARTU carbide grit design reduces bit wear and minimizes heat buildup, helping you maintain control and finish quality from start to finish. The integrated quick-change system keeps work flowing smoothly, so you spend less time changing tools and more time delivering precise results.

Tips for best results

  • Use steady feed pressure and let the carbide grit do the work—avoid excessive force that can dull the edge.
  • Keep the work surface cool by drilling slowly at first, then increase speed as the material clears.
  • Pair this arbor with compatible 2-1/2 in. hole saws to ensure optimal balance and cutting performance.

Upgrade your toolkit with the ARTU 2-1/2 in. Carbide Grit hole saw arbor and experience quicker, cleaner openings on tough materials—every job, every time.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
