I personally prefer to use a jab saw or my oscillating tool.

As a DIYer who has done a fair bit of drywall over the years; and worked on a few houses; I have a corded one with multiple different bits for different materials and I rarely ever use/used it. I never liked the wavy line effect trying to cut with these freeand, whether wood, drywall, ...

Plus the noise and dust ... I am sure it can be handy and a time saver for the drywall pros ... but I am much happier with my corded and cordless oscillating tools.

Don't get this tool for new holes in old drywall. Do get this tool for hanging new sheets directly over electrical boxes, window openings, etc.

You plunge the tip in and then, instead of freehanding it, you follow around the edge of the box with the special drywall bit, resulting in a perfectly fit hole with practically no measuring. It is quick and fast and so much better than the old measure and cut before hanging method. Sure, it makes a mess, but this is already a construction site and nothing a vacuum can't fix. And yeah, it's noisy, but again, this is a construction site, so wear some muffs.

But if you want to a put a new outlet in your old living room, then by all means skip this tool and use a knife, saw, or oscillating tool. That's not what this tool is really intended for.

Thanks for the detailed info. Can you link the special drywall bit you are talking about?
