I learnt from this video the direction of the cutting tool around the box fixtures. Inside the box, move the cutting tool in clockwise direction, outside the box, counterclockwise. Thank you

Nice review. I think to help beginners you should stress the use of the depth guide bracket that you kept on the other tool. It keeps the beginner from going too deep into the box (away from the wires) as well as it will keep you from getting hung up on the other edges around the electrical box. You just adjust the guide to just a little wider than the thickness of the drywall. Thanks for helping out dude.

Was debating drywall cutter vs jigsaw. You answered my question with the metal box.

[easypeasy]

Was struggling with this tool for the first time. Very helpful tips, thanks dude

Thanks Brad, enjoy seeing the mistakes and the failure analysis, makes for a much more informative video.

[flashcraft]

Excellent demonstration. Thank you for actually showing how to use this on real drywall. It makes the whole thing much more clear.

I’m pretty damn smart and no novice, but that chuck and collar humbled me. Thanks for the help!

[markgross]

I love mine, I have used it for doing around framing for windows, basic sheet rock, I have even used it for inside and outside corners of Cove Vinyl, and switching rollers on Vinyl window sashes when the operation was wrong.

True craftsman. Doesn’t need a gauge, only skill

Is this "drywall cutout tool" the same as a Rotozip or any other brand of rotary cutout tool/spiral saw, or is it a "lite" version only recommended for low resistance material like drywall? Maybe a trim router would be more functional for cutting wood, or is this strong enough? Thanks, Tony.

Thank you for the quick run over with this tool. Have wanted one for years an don’t really need it for a do it myself kind of person in my own home but it’s nice to have to make things that much quicker.

[luisraulvelazquez]

I never understood this machine. Thanks for the explanation

[paulmcwilliams]

I like it always doing odd jobs around house .I'm s roofing contractor and DeWalt is and always been a great tool. Put a roof on today with there 20 volt roofing gun and I love that gun

[mitsubisher]

From the uk the wires are always tight to the edge of the box at the top
If you use this tool would you catch them when you go over the top off the box ?

*THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!*
3:17 As an Electrician, there is NO reason you should be inside the box. I've yet to have job where the drywaller didn't hit a wire or miss cutting out a box. I've known electricians that have heated all their boxes up before drywall, hoping for sparks to fly. Also, stop cleaning your knife off in a box. Peeps always crack wise about the feud twixt Plumbers and Electricians. I think it's Drywallers that irritate us the most.

helpful. looking for tool to cut a piece of drywall for odd-shaped opening in ceiling.

[Jncopunk]

What was the clamp used in this video?

[thebigbry]

Good video. I got one of these in a bundle, was trying to figure out used for it. If this is all it does. Seems like a giant, noisy, messy, tool to replace a small hand held drywall saw.

[JohnLennon-ygut]

I mostly use the oscillating multi tool for the same purpose. haven’t ran into a situation where I would need this tool
