For reciprocating saw there's tons of blades that can cut drywall. What they need is a guard attachment that allows you to control depth of the cut so you wont be bending expensive blades or accidentally cutting wires behind drywall.

I used to be a Milwaukee rep and I sold tons of these blades. They work great and last a long time, that's why they're sold individually.

I have been doing reno and opening drywall for years. You can cut the length of a regular blade down with grinder and it will have the same concept and be one less tool to lose. But a great concept non the less.

Interesting idea, though I agree with you that it would only work well on a saber saw. For big cuts without a knife, I like the hook blade on an oscillating tool. I have the Dewalt drywall cutout tool as well, I like the depth adjustment plate and it cuts clean. Plus it takes the regular Rotozip blades.

Looks good. I generally use an oscillating tool with the half moon style blade. If I am tearing out a tub surround I prefer using a circular saw with the blade set at 1/2 inch. That way I can cut through the drywall quickly without damaging studs, wiring, or plumbing. I do see where that blade could be handy for some tradesmen, and some situations, but my go to is still an oscillating tool. They can be a little slow, but don't create a lot of airborne dust. Thanks for the video.

My wife and I moved in the house that we built ourselves 6 months ago (we did everything except for the electrical) so with being a new homeowner when something tears up obviously it falls on us. And that’s where channels like yours come in real handy. Thanks a lot brother!

It's good to have options. I started using the Makita xds01z for reno and repair cut out work. Has a accurate blade depth adjustment along with dust capture. The con is proprietary blade and can only get so tight into the corner. Worth looking into for repair and reno work. For new install not as much.

Yeah I was wondering whether to get this tool or the makita roto-zip. Good to hear you like the drywall saw

Thanks for giving this a try and showing us the results. Any time I have to open a wall and I am not certain if (or where) the pipes and/or wires may be, I use a rotary saw (Rotozip type) and set the 1/8" diameter blade to cut just about 1/16"-1/8" deeper than the thickness of the drywall. Works great, cuts fast, never hits a wire or pipe and the cut out pieces can be put right back in, taped and finished. It's a little messy, but I can have a helper hold a shop vac nozzle near the saw and catch most of the dust. This video doesn't change my mind.

@hammerandhome

I do that a lot as well. Or a multi tool, I found that this blade is a bit harder to line up your cut because it so small and the Sawzall is so big.

The actual best way to cut drywall is to just use a DULL oscillating tool blade. Cuts clean as hell, and it’s not going to damage anything you don’t want it to. You can do the same thing for pvc conduit. I’ve done this to replace and repair conduit that already had wires run through it, without having to pull the wires all the way out. The friction burns a cut in the pvc, and basically ignores the wire as long as you don’t push against it, since the wire isn’t rigid.

NIce review. The blade performs exactly as you demonstrated.

Multi tool works best . It’s quick and agile. Obviously you have to angle the blade and not just blast through everything. The zall blade looks good but unnecessary unless you have the mini sawzall

I’ve done demolition for years and the multi tool has some issues. Blades go quick, ESPECIALLY with plaster, it’s noisy and sometimes you risk over cutting or undercutting. I still use it every demo job, but I can’t wait to get this.

During demo i often run into having to cut vertical center of stud. Also, almost always cut horizontally through the middle of walls for easy disposal size. This thing would bounce all over the place when you contact studs, and at that rate, you might as well use your skillz and hold your normal blade at a safe depth/angle. Only good for the stud bay in my opinion

Spiral cutout tool is the way to go. Fast and easy Rotozip is what I've used for years.Depth adjustment is easy. The problem with a reciprocal action is you will always risk nicking something in a retrofit. If yourinstalling drywall in new construction it doesn't matter.

I believe if you already have something like that 12V recip it would be worth it to have some of those blades in your inventory.

Never split drywall on stud center, the then you only have 3/4” inch to screw in, that’s not enough to really get a good mount, plus drywall always breaks behind paper or you have to angle screw and break the paper, best to cut drywall along side of stud, then add 2x4” scabbed on stud to cut side, now you can properly mount the drywall to a 11/2” stud on both sides of drywall
