Review on RotoZip GP8 8 Inch Drywall Cutting by Kevin Gunnmann

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Of course - order if you want to punish yourself

Really disappointing purchase. These pieces will make you pull your hair out. Absolute rubbish. This might work for you if you are installing 1/4 drywall. I wouldn't even believe them. My Story: Bought two packs of eight for a small hanging job of about 30 sheets of 4x8 5/8" drywall. The only goal was to cut out about 70 holes for lights and outlets. I expected some of them to break. I could even carving an output box. The first cutter went to my worker just after slowly plunging the guide tip into the drywall. After that it was my turn to have some fun. Or not. I tried everything. The amount of pressure applied. In between give them a break. The movement is clockwise (not recommended) instead of counterclockwise. No. Maybe those bits were faulty. Never. Instead, I used *ONE* RotoZip XB-DW10 Drywall X Bit for almost the entire job. It was the one that originally came with my instrument I was afraid it would break and I wouldn't be able to continue working so I ordered a replacement pack of 10. Yes. Crazy. A bit that never broke. It got a little blunt and required a little more pressure but although the diameter has been reduced it's ok. 2/3 of what was original IS NEVER BROKEN like those 1/4 bits of junk. Well it's a joke. Save yourself the headache and just spend a little more and buy a 10-pack of the aforementioned attachments. $26 for 10 beats instead of $8 for 8 crappy beats that you end up throwing away.

Pros
  • Manufacturer: Rotozip
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model
