Was looking at holesaws for installing a rad and fans in my old PC70 and was wondering if any particular make of holesaw is better? The ones I was looking at are: Draper, Starrett and Irwin. While there is not a massive price difference between them just wanted to make sure I get a decent one. I also suspect my dremel won't be up to the task, it'll need to be attached to a decent drill?

You'll want it on a decent drill, not sure on what the best make is though. Have only heard of Draper

The drill I use is a Black and Decker. Does the job quite well. The only annoying this is that it uses a keyless chuck, which is easy to swap drill peices over, but really hard to tighten properly. Large drill sizes slip quite easily.
Starrett > Irwin > Draper.
Get decent bi-metal ones, looked after and used properly they will last forever.
Cheap ones are false economy if you plan to use then more than once on metal, aluminium isn't too demanding but steel will kill them.

You can get holesaw sets that are very high quality from a plumbers merchant - Bahco, Irwin, Bosch or DeWalt are the makes that you should look out for.
