    • Good tool for home reno and more
Solid cut out tool from DeWalt. The quick change system has worked very well for me, never having a problem. The fact that it's cordless makes it REALLY convenient, allowing for quick working around a room, especially since your power is probably turned off. I wouldn't say it's the fastest or most powerful cut out tool, but as long as you use a good bit and apply "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", you'll find it working well. Great value for working with drywall, but can struggle at times with paneling, but can still get the job done. Zero regrets on this investment. Keep in mind that if you're damaging outlet boxes, most likely you're using the wrong bit or have the depth way off. A tracing bit makes the job way too easy. ... show more

    • Awesome
This tool cuts wood, plastic/vinyl, drywall materials, everything I have put it through so far. Rotary tools are difficult to keep straight to begin with, but with practice, I have gotten pretty good at using this tool. Weights will vary with the battery that use, so the smaller 2ah batteries will cause less fatigue, but for longevity, larger batteries keep you moving without having to change and charge the battery as much. I’m currently using Rotozip bits, they fit fine, haven’t gotten a chance to try other brands yet. It’s worth the money as long as Dewalt doesn’t continue this Quality hit or miss standard they have done over the past few years. Mine is awesome ... show more

    • Another tool I wish I had bought when I first saw it.
I'm not an everyday drywall guy, but when I do install drywall, I go CRAZY! Yeah. Been using my rotozip for way too many years past it's lifespan. It had a cord. Always felt like a ball and chain, ya know? Lost its positive locking button years ago so I used an old worn out bit to fill the hole when changing out bits. Well, I had had enough of messing around with this and went ahead against the wishes of the Mr's and snuck this bad boy in my cart one day. Amazon, always delivers me my goods. I love my supplier. She gets me my goods quick and on time. Oh, don't get your undies in a bundle. I'm talkin' bout Amaze-on. I'm starting to think my local hardware stores don't like me anymore because of how many tools I buy from Bezos and Co. Anyway...........this thing works great, has a built-in light that comes in quite handy, and is tool-less when it comes to changing out bits. Not the greatest feature because you need a degree in physics to figure out how to operate the loosening and tightening mechanism in order to use the damn thing........buuuuuuuuut, when you do, you're golden! I'd buy two if I knew they'd be discontinuing these things one day in the near future. Well, maybe I'll hold off until they make the bit changing ordeal a little better, Idk....... ... show more

    • This thing ROCKS!!
I bought this unit as I have several sheetrocking projects to complete. I had never used one of these before and was amazed at how fast it was to master the use of it and how powerful it was. I used it to cut out electrical outlets, door openings and trim rough corners. I use all DeWalt cordless tools so had the batteries to interchange. My only note is that you will want a nice fat charged up battery at the ready because going back to manual cutting would be tough after using this. This is an amazing little tool and worth every penny! ... show more

    • Convenient little tool.
Convenient little tool. Works well for its intended purpose of drywall cut out. Especially like the keyless shank. Also use it Dremel style. I ordered a quarter inch sleeve so I can put my quarter inch router bits and Dremel bits into it. I've been using it quite a bit for foam and steel work. Stone bits work really well with this. I use it for the heavy duty stuff but the intricate details still need a Dremel. Battery life seems pretty good. Went all day on a 4 amp hour. Never ran the battery to empty. So I really don't know how long the battery is actually last. Great value when on sale. ... show more

    • Another great tool by DeWalt!
Another outstanding tool to add to my DeWalt arsenal. I like the size of this tool. It fits well in my hands and has performed well. I really enjoy the portability of a battery drywall rotary tool. It's so much easier to work with than being tethered to an outlet with an extension cord, especially when working on a ladder. Also, most new drywall tasks are in rooms without electricity. Battery life has been great. Highly recommended. ... show more

    • Great tool
I’m just an amateur but this is a great tool. Little loud and the on off switch is a little stiff but otherwise it’s great to have. I like the dull pilot drywall bits. The depth gage stop seems a little cheap but overall this tool saves tons of time.
