    • Good tool for home reno and more
Color: Black Yelow
Solid cut out tool from DeWalt. The quick change system has worked very well for me, never having a problem. The fact that it's cordless makes it REALLY convenient, allowing for quick working around a room, especially since your power is probably turned off. I wouldn't say it's the fastest or most powerful cut out tool, but as long as you use a good bit and apply "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", you'll find it working well. Great value for working with drywall, but can struggle at times with paneling, but can still get the job done. Zero regrets on this investment. Keep in mind that if you're damaging outlet boxes, most likely you're using the wrong bit or have the depth way off. A tracing bit makes the job way too easy. ... show more

    • Convenient little tool.
Color: Black Yelow
Convenient little tool. Works well for its intended purpose of drywall cut out. Especially like the keyless shank. Also use it Dremel style. I ordered a quarter inch sleeve so I can put my quarter inch router bits and Dremel bits into it. I've been using it quite a bit for foam and steel work. Stone bits work really well with this. I use it for the heavy duty stuff but the intricate details still need a Dremel. Battery life seems pretty good. Went all day on a 4 amp hour. Never ran the battery to empty. So I really don't know how long the battery is actually last. Great value when on sale. ... show more

Color: Black Yelow
I purchased this tool as I am moving toward as many cordless tools as possibly, with as many of those being Dewalt 20V as possible. I prefer one battery platform, even if the odd tool is slightly sub-par to another platform. In this case, I do not believe this tool is sub-par to any other tool. I used it on one remodel job so far, and it worked perfectly. As far as actual performance as a cut off tool, I give it 5 start. I dropped it overall to 4 stars for two reasons: 1. Lack of any dust control options. I understand its cordless, and attaching a hose to it clearly cuts into the cordless aspect. However, giving the user the option of dust extraction would be great. my old rotozip had a removable dust extraction shroud, that would have been perfect for this 2. Lack of a collet that accepts the larger rotozip x-bits. It came with the small 1/8" (i believe) for standard bit, and a larger i believe 1/4" collet. However, lacking a collet for the very common x-bit is a bit of a let down for me All in all a quality offering from Dewalt in my early use. Had plenty of power to go through 1/2" drywall at a very reasonable speed. When paired with the Dewalt 20V collated screwgun, they are a dream come true. Would not hesitate to purchase this if its something you will use ... show more

    • Awesome
Color: Black Yelow
This tool cuts wood, plastic/vinyl, drywall materials, everything I have put it through so far. Rotary tools are difficult to keep straight to begin with, but with practice, I have gotten pretty good at using this tool. Weights will vary with the battery that use, so the smaller 2ah batteries will cause less fatigue, but for longevity, larger batteries keep you moving without having to change and charge the battery as much. I’m currently using Rotozip bits, they fit fine, haven’t gotten a chance to try other brands yet. It’s worth the money as long as Dewalt doesn’t continue this Quality hit or miss standard they have done over the past few years. Mine is awesome ... show more

    • Great tool
Color: Black Yelow
I’m just an amateur but this is a great tool. Little loud and the on off switch is a little stiff but otherwise it’s great to have. I like the dull pilot drywall bits. The depth gage stop seems a little cheap but overall this tool saves tons of time.

    • Did the job well but a little pricey!
Color: Black Yelow
It's a little bulky but the size does give ample room to place two hands to hold it. The motor is quick and made fast work of some outlet cut outs in new drywall. The depth measurement was very quick and easy to adjust and didn't come lose while in use. I switched to a 2amp hour battery because the 5amp and bigger would take a toll on my arms and shoulders if you have to use this up high or overhead for a long period of time. ... show more

    • Works well.
Color: Black Yelow
I'm not sure what people are doing wrong with this router for the bad reviews. I've used several brands, corded well as cordless, I've never had an issue with this cordless router. I had to purchase a new one because mine was stolen but this router is a great product especially for the price. I was considering getting a Hilti to replace it but this works just fine for half the price. I ran mine for at least a year and a half with normal use for a professional drywall hanger/finisher and never had an issue, it will slow down as the battery runs low but that's only to be expected. I strongly recommend. ... show more
