RIDGID introduces the 18V Drywall Cut-Out Tool Kit with 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger. With a no load speed of 28,000 RPM, the Drywall Cut-Out Tool provides a fast, clean cut in a compact size. The depth guide drops below the collet for maximum depth of cut with the guide attached. The depth guide also functions as the collet wrench, making bit changes quick and convenient. The point-of-cut switch allows for total control of the tool when cutting. The ability to cut drywall, plywood, cement board and laminate adds versatility. Backed by the RIDGID Lifetime Service Agreement, the 18V Drywall Cut-Out Tool Kit includes a 2.0 Ah Battery, an 18V Charger, two drywall bits, a 1/8 in. and 1/4 in. collet, a belt hook and an operator's manual.

Funny, I was just looking at this yesterday, because I actually need it on Saturday. Still on the fence about picking it up just so that I have it the next time I might need it.
Yesterday (and I think for the past week or so) it was on sale for $79. So this is a fairly decent drop. That said, Direct tool has it for $39 factory blemished. Might be the better deal if you don't need the battery and charger. Then again, LSA from HD is simpler, so that's probably worth a few bucks.
Maybe I'm using it for the wrong stuff but it makes way more mess than an oscillating tool. Unless I need something to be cut out in a circle or a weird pattern I just use my drywall saw or oscillating tool. The only thing I've found this useful for was a hole for a bathroom light fixture.

Buy a drywall cut-out tool if you are hanging new sheets of drywall and want to quickly and accurately make cut outs with little to no measuring by allowing the bit to follow along whatever is behind it.
Don't buy this for cutting holes in previously installed drywall. A knife, drywall saw, or oscillating multi-tool will be easier to control for those applications.

I need to cut a large, narrow section of drywall out to access behind a shower that's had its head snapped off. Should I return this cut-out tool for an oscillating multitool? I bought this knowing I could return it if need be. I haven't opened or registered it. New Ridgid multitool with 2AH battery is $129
I just started researching the job...

I'd probably be using a cheap handheld drywall saw for that, or an oscillating multi-tool. These drywall cut-out tools are best when there is something behind the drywall, like a preinstalled outlet box, for the bit to follow along.

Even at this price re:oscillating being better? I'm currently 50/50 returning it and getting a jab saw for $12
Thanks for the help, btw. I'm limited on funds, but may have projects coming up that would require a bit more finesse.
