Re: My review
Love My Harbor freight $59.00 Multi tool. 2" blades only $10.00. I'm sure the Ridgid is a better tool,didn't know they made them.
My Son has a freud,Big $$$$ for tool and blades are crazy expensive! This style tool has It's place and is awesome!I can build anything You want , if you draw a picture of it , on the back of a big enough check .

Circular saw. Small shop vac running with the blade.
Reciprocating Saw. I do better with the blade turned over. Shop Vac too.
I have a RotoZip too that does well with a good bit. Have an attachment at the head where you hook the vacuum directly too. Keeps things pretty clean.

Sawzall W/aggressive metal blade is the only way for me.

No longer a problem.I used to have to ruin a hole saw to try and drill notch out the material.

I just did it the other day to cut in an old work box to add an outlet in a room.Last edited by Bob D.; 09-04-2011, 09:14 PM."It's a table saw, do you know where your fingers are?" ? Bob D. 2006

Originally posted by gear junkie View PostNot that bad actually, I follow the saw with a shop vac as JC mentioned. Cleanup is about the same as a sawzall with no vacuum. I like the circular saw (now the job max) because you get a precise depth when cutting, no need to worry about cutting anything in the wall. Never tried JC's method of a backwards sawzall blade.
Got some drywall and 2X's we'll build wall simulation and you can watch the backside...The wall you silly F@ggits.

Re: My review
i try and use a sheet rock saw to allow me to cut a 45 bevel. this allows the drywall to be put back and taped without falling through. dry waller showed me this trick 25 years ago.
problem out here in california, i run into shear wall 1/2 the time and a small cordless circ saw set up for the right depth. 5/8'' + 3/8'' shear wall is simple to maintain with a little circ saw.
the dremel multi cutter works good and produces little dust with it's fine blade and little fan.
i also use a drywall cutout rotozip, but it blows lots of dust.
a sawzall is my last choice as the stroke can easily cut into romex and copper and plastic. holding at a steep angle is ok for drywall, but never fun for plywood.
remember the 6 square foot rule on lead painted walls.

Re: My review
Most of the time I'll use a drywall saw.The thought of using a circular saw scares the crap outta me ..No way .Sawzall yes but again very cautiously..With the drywall saw you can feel when you are contacting a pipe , wire , stud, etc...Have done the roto zip thing too..In an open job the dust is rediculous...I am thinking the multimax tool would do a much better job than all the above put together.Much better depth control''Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy" Benjamin Franklin

Re: My review
Has anyone else burned through the sanding pads that came with the multi tool head?
I am sanding a pretty detailed roller coaster body for painting, found this tool for the right price, then in two days, melted the hooks on every corner. I contacted Home Depot, but was told the only option for replacement was to purchase the 49.99 head for the unit. Kinda steep for 2 days work when I only need the sanding pad. Any suggestions?
