I have a 40 year old house that I have been doing a bit of work on - including adding outlets and wiring for data ports among other things. I picked this little wall board saw to help in these efforts and I am truly impreressed with its performance. The teeth cut VERY agressively, which is a huge plus when you have a lot of holes to cut. I am also very pleased with the comfort of the handle and the fact that the blade is rigid enough to "jab" it through drywall without having to drill a starter hole.

All in all this saw is a great performer and worth every penny.

I don't remember exactly what project I bought this saw for, but i've been using it quite a bit in my back yard! The teeth are great and it saws quickly. I have been trying to plant a lot lately and i have too many roots in my back yard from the previous owner. I just stick this saw in the ground (of course knowing there aren't any pipes in the area!) and saw on through the pesky roots...I have used this saw more than my other hand saws for other odd projects as well. Comfortable and a great tool - even after using this saw on ALL KINDS of stuff, teeth are still running strong...

Very sharp and cuts through wood and drywall like nothing. comfortable handle and sharp tip for punching a hole in drywall. hight quality and worth the money.

As a contractor for 15+ years, I've owned a number of drywall saws. While they're inherently "low-tech" devices, this Stanley stands out... Sharp tip, 2 rows of serrated teeth, and the back of the handle doesn't destroy your palm when you try to get the blade started... My $0.02.

I've owned a few of these, and many others including Kobalt brand, Greenlee, etc. Klein is the only one that compares (it's basically the same design but costs more). I'll stick with the Stanley...

Now you have many saws all in one. Wood/metal/gypsum board. Just order the blades. When it gets dull replace the blade not the whole saw.

Used it recently to cut a large square in the drywall over my patio to run electric. Ripped right through it, very sharp tip. Made me feel embarrassed that I was still using my old, rusty one. I left the old one up in the patio ceiling as a final resting place for it.

Great little saw, used it to cut 8 holes in the ceiling of my house for speakers. One person that stopped by even noted for nice and clean the holes looked and was surprised I was able to get such a clean cut with a manual saw. Highly recommended.

Very sharp, works great and performs exactly as advertised. Cuts quickly and aggressively, making quick work of hole-cutting tasks.

I cut 20 7" circular holes in my ceiling for speakers, it was easy to follow the cutting template with the saw and make the curves. Punching the saw through the drywall to start the cut was easy with the sharp point of the saw, then you just start sawing!

Good quality tool, does what it's supposed to. I used it to cut drywall to install network jacks. Nice grip on the handle.

I was creating a couple of openings for new electrical sockets in my home; I had started them by drilling smaller holes around the area I needed to saw out, and though I was using a fairly sharp drill bit, it was quite a task to drill all the way through the 2-layer, 1" thick drywall I was up against. Enter Fat Max... and I mean that literally. That little sucker tore through that drywall like it was French bread, and I was done with both openings in less than five minutes, with much less effort than I expected it to be. This is my first experience using a saw like this, and its ease of use is already giving me more ideas for home improvement. My landlord will just have to deal with it.....
