This is a specialty tool that works great for the thing it was designed to address...drywall. It is very solid, excellent stability and shape for handling. It is very high rpm so it cuts very cleanly, however, as with all things drywall, it throws a lot of dust. The tool has a strong axial fan inside that blows the dust away at high velocity (so wear goggles / glasses). I've cut many pieces with a single bit. It defaults to a somewhat non-standard 5/16 bit. Other brand tools have 1/8 and 1/4 in bits. The Rotozip bits are readily available however, and you can get collets for all three sizes if you desire. I did.

If you are cutting wallboard, you might like one of these. It does a good job especially around electrical boxes. However, if you want to cut almost anything else, there are much better options than this tool. I tried cutting wall tile with this and carbide bit and it was useless. Buy this for wallboard, otherwise invest your money elsewhere.

I’ve had two ofthese over a 4 year span and both didn’t last and had the exact same problems. First the chuck stop that allows you to hold the shaft in place will taking off the bit strips so you can’t get the chuck loose. Only remedy for that is disassemble the entire tool and remove the parts that stop the shaft. Once you’ve done that then you can stick a punch in the hole to stop the shaft while you unscrew the chuck. Number 2 the motors eventually wobble out. Any amount of use puts pressure on the shaft and tool that causes a wobble. This is something that’s inevitable, not much you can do for that except replace the tool every 5 hours of use. It’s also very hard to control. If you use it on anything other than drywall, it will jump, buck an ruin your project if precision matters.

As a drywall cutout tool, it’s pretty useless. Way overpowered, cuts through anything underneath the sheet, vents blow the dust right in your face. Impossible to control to make precise cuts. Very disappointed.

Terrific machine, lots of power at 5.5 amps.
