  • I flattened the teeth back out with a chisel and hammer and it still works but I dont think it will take too many hits like this. You can use 18mm snap blades in ...
Style: Tool Only
This saw is a serious time saver. It cuts 5/8 sheetrock at about 6" per second without pushing it too hard. It is MUCH quieter and faster than using an oscilating tool. The grip angle works well for vertical and overhead use. A few things to note if you are considering this saw: The Makita replacement blades are almost $15 a piece. They do work well but the first screw I hit bent and rounded off about 4 teeth. It still functioned but made a noticeably wider cut and more dust. I flattened the teeth back out with a chisel and hammer and it still works but I dont think it will take too many hits like this. You can use 18mm snap blades in this thing, I used Tajimas rock hard edge blades. You snap off 3 sections of blade and reverse the little hold-down on the blade holder. I tried cheap blades and they shattered when I tightened them so you may have to find blades that work for you. You also have to manually set the depth on the blade when it is at the bottom of its down stroke. They seem to cut about as fast as the Makita blades. Be weary that you have ~5/8 of razor blade sticking out the bottom of the tool. Here is my biggest gripe with this thing: The plastic shroud with the dust hose attachment becomes instantly coated in gypsum dust and you can no longer see the blade whether you have it hooked up to a vacuum or not. This compounds the problem (not an issue if you are just making a rough tape-able cutout) that neither the Makita blade or the snap razor blades seem to follow the V groove cut line indicator. I found that if you remove the plastic dust shroud that I could make absolutely perfect straight cuts by watching the blade. It does not produce much dust while cutting so for all but furnished interior work I will just leave the cover off. That said, this is a great tool and will save you a lot of time. ... show more

  • Highly recommended! Great tool.
Style: Tool Only
Great tool for cutting drywall! Never worry about "blind cutting" and cutting too deep or even worse something you had no intentions of cutting. When this is paired with a heap free vacuum it is a perfect match. Clean, easy to use and awesome. Anyone thinking about it will not think twice about it once it's in their hands. I've used this tool in commercial/professional settings where dust mitigation was a major concern and this is the ticket when used with a vac. Blades are a bit expensive I believe, so do not expect to slice through screws or nails as they are not designed for cutting anything other than drywall. ... show more

  • WOW - 1 TOOL - 1 JOB - BIG VALUE
Style: Tool Only
THis is a little tool that does ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY BUT IT DOES IT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER TOOL ! This thing is almost dustless, even without a vacuum, it made virtually no dust. you set your depth and the beauty of this tool is that, you wont hit / damage anything behind the wall EXAMPLE Lets say you hack i nto a wall with your drywall saw, then BAM, you get shocked as you cut into a floppy wire left by ol SParky..... Then you gotta spend $1-200 to have sparky come out and re run a wire.... BOOM theres the tool right there. IF YOU DO DRYWALL ONCE A WEEK OR MORE , YOU NEED THIS TOOL ! if you do it 4-5x a year, you might not... Its a SPECIFIC TOOL - FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE AND ItS AMAZING ... show more

  • No other product like it on the market!
Style: Tool Only
I purchased this tools for a project we are doing which involved removing and replacing electrical panels (loadcenters) in a 53 unit apartment complex. After completing just a few panels, using a utility knife and a Sawzall, I decided to look for a saw that would expedite the process and stumbled onto this Makita on Amazon. Th price made me a little apprehensive however, I went for it and it was the best thing I did for the project. The saw reduced our drywall cutting time immensely and all the guys enjoyed using it.. It paid for itself the first day we used it. Excellent Tool! Just a little pricey as well as the blades. However, we completed the whole project with one blade! GREAT TOOL! Only one like it on the market. ... show more

  • Better than expected in mosty
Style: Tool Only
This tool works better than expected. It is almost 100% dustless with a vaccum. It is still easy to manuver and cut straight lines as the hose swivel does not interfere with movements. As a side note it can be used without a vaccum for short runs because the vendor supplies a cap for the hose swivel and the tool fan blows dust into the dust container. I see almost no dust when using this tool and it makes it worth the price. The blade adjustment could be better/easier. The bad is Makita does not give any vaccum hose adapters in the box. I had to pay $30 for an adapter to my 1 1/2 hose. Geez. This is a niche product so the blades are expensive. I only found drywall blades and none of the wood blades it is supposed to work with. On the good side the blades seems to be lasting a long time. The tool is very light and easy to handle. Makita seems to have fallen behind on the adjustments of their tools. I have other tools that are a lot faster to set height and angle. ... show more

  • If only I'd known about this tool sooner.
Style: Tool Only
This is an amazing tool. On the surface it seems a little gimmicky, but it's awesome. I bought it thinking it's biggest claim to fame would be fairly dust free cuts into drywall with dust extraction, and also cutting to a specific depth. But it that isn't the half of it. It cuts super thin cuts, so thin that you have to work the piece you cut out around a bit to get it back in again. You can cut a piece out and put it back in and there is virtually no seam. Clean up the paper a little and mud, no tape needed, the screws are a bigger problem than the seams. I also thought the vacuum was going to be an import part of dust free operation, nope, pretty minimal drywall dust with no vacuum attached, and the cut is so thin the little bin it has takes surprisingly long to fill up. Is it expensive for a one trick pony, yea kinda, but it really does that trick well. ... show more
