Cut a dozen perfect 6.1" diameter circles out of 1/2" drywall. the lights. makes a really nice circle. much faster than anything I've ever used. I practiced on drywall scraps, walked fast the first time, almost hurt myself. When I say slow, I mean my Makita 18 volt drill barely moved. no problem with overhead. I got 3 for $22, the first is unworn with a dozen holes drilled. I doubt I'll wear even one with all 24 holes. I think it wears out very quickly on cardboard and wood.
