Arrived on time, everything as advertised, works great. This is an 'intense' tool that really 'rips' (it's not for the faint at heart). Accessories are expensive, though. Note that it creates a TREMENDOUS amount of dust. I made the mistake of cutting through tile and grout around a kitchen sink (a small job) without completely blocking off the area...the dust travelled into every nook and cranny througout the house, even into the back rooms! (I got into big trouble from the wife for that one.) Other than that, it's a tool I'm happy to have.

RotoZip RZ2000-52 120-Volt Variable Speed Spiral Saw Kit

I've purchased lots of tools and have worked as a handyman and Rotozip is the most disappointing tool I've ever purchased. Great for cutting plaster board and ceiling tile circles and box outlets but other cutting attachment just don't measure up. I burned up $30 flush mount saw blade because it hit a nail which is a real world event. Tile saw blade and motor power not as good as a 4 inch grinder and saw blades are a lot cheaper for the grinder. Saber saw attachment doesn't work nearly as well as dedicated Saber saw and rotary bits dulls fast and are expensive. Tried rotary tile bit and it broke with first use. No luck cutting metal with metal rotary bit, not as good as a Saber saw with metal cutting blade which is a lot cheaper.

this tool was a quality made tool but i lost the pinion gear and when I contacted them I was informed they don't make replacement parts any more. So if you buy from this company don't lose or break anything

RotoZip makes quality tools that accurately do the job/s they are designed for. The accessories are well designed and change out easily. I wonder why I waited so long to buy one.

I bought this tool to cut baseboards and door frames so I could easily install some flooring. I got home only to realize that the set I had didn't do that. $70 worth of blades attachments later I THOUGHT I was ready to cut baseboard with basically what you see in this kit. It did but only where there was lots of room to manuver. Forget cutting in tight areas with that elbow attachments it is way to bulky and barely exposes enough blade to do anything. Add to that the fact that the blades cost as much as a 10 inch table saw blade. I also agree with the folks who say parts are hard to find. It appears this was a flash in the pan and what you are buying at this point is leftovers from a basically defunct company. I'm back to using my dremel and wish I'd never wasted my money on this.

Another issue has surfaced. I went to change blades and found that the inner circle where you attach the blade was slightly warped so the blade did not rotate evenly making it useless. I only used that blade ONCE to cut around the bottom of a doorframe and now its useless!!! Sad product!

This tool is great for cutting sheetrock and vinyl siding. I have not found it useful for cutting 3/4" plywood or softwoods. It may do better on thinner stock, but I have not tried it.

Great timing on the delivery. Bought it as a gift and received it on Christmas Eve. It was in perfect condition. Couldn't ask for better service.
