This tool also features a removable handle with a soft grip that feels good in hand. Variable speeds from 15,000 - 30,000 rpm let you match the tool-speed to various applications such as cutting drywall, bath tile, plywood, cinderblock, and PVC pipe. A metal bezel provides added structural support for the spindle lock button. The kit includes (1) Masonry wheel, (1) Metal wheel, (1) Sabrecut bit, (2) Guidepoint bits, wrench and hard tool case for longer tool life.

I used this to replace a shower valve - cut out some tiles, some drywall, it was an absolute dream, couldn't imagine how fast it was at work I was dreading. The bits are a big problem. I have gone through 4 tile cutting bits now (at about 6 clams a pop) - about one per foot of cutting, and I am someone with a gentle touch with tools - I have never broken a jig saw blade or drill bit.

This review is from: RotoZip RZ10-2100 Pro Cutoff 5.5 Amp 15,000 to 30,000 RPM Variable Speed Spiral Saw with 3 Jaw Chuck, ZipMate, 2 ZipMate Wheels and 2 Guidepoint Bits (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had this tool for quite a while, and use it all the time. Easiest way to make clean cuts in metal, brick (with diamond cutoff blade), drywall, etc. Also, the only tool I've found for doing blind cuts into a corner, like when replacing a single hardwood floor board.

I haven't had the bit-life problems another reviewer mentioned; it might be they need a carbide tip. The only significant problem I've run into is getting into tight spaces; taking the base off helps, but the body is still a little wider than I'd like.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool.....Lousy Bits, January 16, 2004

This review is from: RotoZip RZ10-2100 Pro Cutoff 5.5 Amp 15,000 to 30,000 RPM Variable Speed Spiral Saw with 3 Jaw Chuck, ZipMate, 2 ZipMate Wheels and 2 Guidepoint Bits (Tools & Home Improvement)

I am a home improvement junkie and enjoy doing projects around the house. The wife & I are looking to buy a new home and we decided to get the house in tip-top condition before we sell.

I am in the process of installing a laminate floor that replicates the look of ceramic tiles in the foyer. I wanted the Roto Zip tool to make the cuts.

The tool works great, however, the bits wear out so fast cutting through the laminate. My old sabre saw using fine tooth blades last alot longer.

I am debating whether to return the tool to Amazon now and go back to using the sabre saw. The way I am going, I will have to buy another 15-20 bits to complete this project.
