I have to chime in on this. I bought one of these about a year ago to cut out a 2x2 hole in drywall. Both the included bits broke, and for reasons I could not understand. I did not hit anything, and after the first I started going slower, then the next broke. I also found it hard to control to make a straight line, and it made bad and wide cut. I have many tools, almost everything rigid makes, and this is by far the most worthless tool I have ever bought. Do yourself a favor, get a multi tool instead. It is way better in every way. I honestly dont know why this tool exists, when you can get a multitool.

I bought this on black Friday for $35 (tool only) on DTO. I used it to cut out a hole for an air duct while installing LVP. It worked super well and I'm happy with it.

Doubt it. Still get a multitool, or get this and hate it, I don't care. Get both, like I have, and tell me which is left on the self. I do work with tools for a living though. Trust me, it's garbage.

I assume this works like the old Rotozips? Do they even make them anymore? 🤔

Useful feedback. Occasionally good companies make a lousy tool. I have a Ryobi jigsaw that is worthless. Own tons to Ryobi and they vary from decent to great (1" SDS hammer).

Takes for your comment. I was wondering how much it goes for on DTO.

I've seen the bare tool go for a clearance price of $79 @ HD in March last yr.

These things generate so much dust. You're better off just using a punch saw.

There're always lots of criticisms for these drywall tools, usually by people who would be better off using a knife, saw, or oscillating tool for the minor work that they are doing in old drywall. But for hanging full sheets in remodels or new construction, these cut-out tools are a game changer for quickly making perfectly fit cut-outs with little to no measuring. Here's a 1-minute video that shows how they're intended to be used: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Viynq6yV4

In for one. I have almost all of the cordless Ridgid tools and all work really well, so far. For the price with a charger and battery it was a no brainer for me. Thanks OP

Do they make a vacuum attachment for it like the DeWalt has?

Which DeWalt has a vacuum attachment? I haven't seen that but would think that a vacuum hose would hamper the use of this tool and probably wouldn't often even be necessary considering the rough phase of construction in which these tools are typically used.
