The Drywaller’s Dream
I hang drywall for a living and have accustomed myself to using the Rotozip for cutting out outlets, vents, etc. and got used to its lack of power and durability; until last week. I purchased the new DeWalt Cut-out tool and can’t believe the difference in power and comfort. DeWalt really did their homework on this one. It also has a tool-free bit change which is awesome. It makes changing bits quicker and easier and I never have to have a wrench around. Drop whatever you’re using and get the DeWalt.
Update (5/17/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

SUCCESS-ALMOST
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A ROTO-ZIP AS AN AID FOR INSTALLING WALL TILE. AFTER A 1/4 INCH CUT INTO WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WALL TILE THE CARBIDE BIT BROKE. I WAS NOT VERY IMPRESSED. ALSO THE OVERALL FEEL, QUALITY AND POWER DISAPPOINTED. I RETURNED THE TOOL. I THEN ORDERED THE DEWALT CUT-OUT TOOL. I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE QUALITY, FEEL AND POWER OF THIS TOOL. AGAIN I TRIED THE TILE CUT, BUT WITHOUT MUCH SUCCESS. I WAS ABLE TO CUT THE TILE BUT SO SLOWLY IT WASN’T WORTH THE BOTHER. THEN I TRIED ANOTHER PIECE OF TILE THAT WAS MARKED WALL TILE. I WAS AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENCE. I WAS ABLE TO CUT HOLES FOR PIPES IN NOTHING FLAT. CONTROL WAS EXCELLENT AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CHIPPING AROUND THE CUT WHICH COULD BE MINIMIZED EVEN MORE BY SLOWING DOWN THE RATE OF FEED. I ALSO TRIED THE TOOL IN WOOD, DRYWALL AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, STEEL. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE SOME VERY NICE CUTS IN 1/8″ WALL SQUARE STEEL TUBING. ACTUALLY I AM MORE PLEASED WITH THIS DEWALT TOOL THAN MOST OF THE OTHER DEWALT TOOLS I OWN. MY ONLY RECOMMENDATION TO OTHER PURCHASERS IS THAT IF YOU INTEND TO USE THIS TOOL FOR CERAMIC TILE, MAKE SURE THE TILE IS REALLY WALL TILE.

A real tool
The rotozip revolution is a lot of hype and not well constructed. I returned it for the DW660. This is a powerful and smooth tool in comparison. I think this is one of the better DeWalt products that I own. Hold on because it can take off due to the power(not a complaint). I wish the base was a little better constructed for use in cutting wood and plastic. There is no circle guide either, otherwise I would give it 5 stars.
