@@Canipeks this tool is a rotary tool used for cutting out drywall. A multi tool is an oscillating tool that is typically used for cutting wood, nails etc. it is for those hard to reach areas . it also can sand and do a lot more. i use them once and a while to cut drywall if i'm renovating but mostly I use it to cut wood and sand wood.
@@hammerandhome thanks for the tip, however I'm planning to purchase one of these but as I already have a multi tool, didn't know whether this drywall tool would be something extra as I wouldn't need it because I'm using the multitool that does the same job. P.S I guess it really depends on personal choice too at the end of the day what you do and so on forth.
Nice review. I think to help beginners you should stress the use of the depth guide bracket that you kept on the other tool. It keeps the beginner from going too deep into the box (away from the wires) as well as it will keep you from getting hung up on the other edges around the electrical box. You just adjust the guide to just a little wider than the thickness of the drywall. Thanks for helping out dude.
I learnt from this video the direction of the cutting tool around the box fixtures. Inside the box, move the cutting tool in clockwise direction, outside the box, counterclockwise. Thank you
Is this "drywall cutout tool" the same as a Rotozip or any other brand of rotary cutout tool/spiral saw, or is it a "lite" version only recommended for low resistance material like drywall? Maybe a trim router would be more functional for cutting wood, or is this strong enough? Thanks, Tony.
Thank you for the quick run over with this tool. Have wanted one for years an don’t really need it for a do it myself kind of person in my own home but it’s nice to have to make things that much quicker.
I love mine, I have used it for doing around framing for windows, basic sheet rock, I have even used it for inside and outside corners of Cove Vinyl, and switching rollers on Vinyl window sashes when the operation was wrong.
*THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!* 3:17 As an Electrician, there is NO reason you should be inside the box. I've yet to have job where the drywaller didn't hit a wire or miss cutting out a box. I've known electricians that have heated all their boxes up before drywall, hoping for sparks to fly. Also, stop cleaning your knife off in a box. Peeps always crack wise about the feud twixt Plumbers and Electricians. I think it's Drywallers that irritate us the most.
I like it always doing odd jobs around house .I'm s roofing contractor and DeWalt is and always been a great tool. Put a roof on today with there 20 volt roofing gun and I love that gun
Good video. I got one of these in a bundle, was trying to figure out used for it. If this is all it does. Seems like a giant, noisy, messy, tool to replace a small hand held drywall saw.
Me too, though I’m contemplating buying this tool because of speed but also because the drywall dust gets inside the oscillating tool - I’m worried about ruining it.
Can’t go wrong with dewalt I bought the screw gun and router kit and got a extra router for free and two 2 ah batteries and a super charger for a little under 300.00 and there still running strong after 3 years
Hi Brad, nice video.....for newbs, would it useful to use the Cut-out tool’s depth guide so that they don’t get hung up on the electrical box metal bits that are a bit deeper? I have the corded De Walt DW660 and I find the depth guide set at drywall thickness plus 1/4” is very helpful to stop me from getting hung up and I seem to get clean cuts from it.....
no prob, the clamp is to simulate the drywall being screwed down to close to a cutout, this will put pressure on the drywall and when you do a cut, the closer you get to the end of your cut the drywall will give and potentially break, like it did in the vid. hope that helped
Great video. Found this while viewing your drywall screw gun video (great video as well) Can you use the same technique for wood paneling? I've had to do a few remodels with paneling and spent way too much time cutting out the boxes and switches.
Thank you very mucho for helping us to learn more about it. God bless you 🙏. I just buy a dewalt rotory because I'm starting my drywall company. God bless and my present and future company....
Big fail for me. Couldn’t get it to trace around the box. I was using 5/8. Guide bit was riding above the box edge. Bits were also breaking. Frustrated ended up cutting with drywall hand saw.
Why not just leave the depth gauge on and take away all the unnecessary guess work as to wether you are too deep or not and risk damaging the electrical wires? Makes more sense IMO.
@@hammerandhome Yeah I’ve seen a lot of guys using them like that. Was just making the point as to why not just use the gauge. It was obviously researched and included as part of the tool for a good reason.
i never use any type of Drill to mix concrete. I would use it for a thinset. concrete should be mixed with a shovel or a mixing machine. it would burn out any drill because of the amount of rock in it.
@@HandymanHustle Definitely a great drill for those applications. I used the Mixing drill and still wouldn't recommend it for concrete, even if dewalt is saying its good for it. You will love your new purchase the more you use it. thanks for watching!
Oscillating tool is great for electrical boxes and switches but for recessed lights, windows and doorways? This tool is so much faster it’s worth buying.
Definitely misspoke. 2600 RPM wouldn't cut through paper very well. Probably just start a fire. 26,000 RPMS though can probably cut through ice. Anybody tried that?
NÃO COMPREM ESSA MÁQUINA! Esse sistema de trava rápida é uma porcaria, A broca de 1/4" custa uma fortuna e a máquina pifou em 14 meses com pouco uso. LIXO!

Hi, just a question regarding this video what's the difference between this tool and a multitool
@@Canipeks Check out our video on multi-tool uses, they are very different: th-cam.com/video/Yhxs4CDtgSk/w-d-xo.html

Thanks Brad, enjoy seeing the mistakes and the failure analysis, makes for a much more informative video.
yeah no prob, didn't go as planned but happy it was a teachable moment.
Was struggling with this tool for the first time. Very helpful tips, thanks dude

True craftsman. Doesn’t need a gauge, only skill
Was debating drywall cutter vs jigsaw. You answered my question with the metal box.
Happy it helped😊
Excellent demonstration. Thank you for actually showing how to use this on real drywall. It makes the whole thing much more clear.
Thank you for the quick run over with this tool. Have wanted one for years an don’t really need it for a do it myself kind of person in my own home but it’s nice to have to make things that much quicker.
You're welcome! It's so satisfying to do things yourself, right?!
@@hammerandhome absolutely! An thanks again
I never understood this machine. Thanks for the explanation
@@luisraulvelazquez5114 my pleasure, thanks for watching
I’m pretty damn smart and no novice, but that chuck and collar humbled me. Thanks for the help!
No prob. It definitely takes a bit of getting used to.

Does this only work with drywall or can you use it on other material?

Thanks for the help locking this bit I to the tool😅
I mostly use the oscillating multi tool for the same purpose. haven’t ran into a situation where I would need this tool
Me too, though I’m contemplating buying this tool because of speed but also because the drywall dust gets inside the oscillating tool - I’m worried about ruining it.
Surely plastic back boxes don’t work for this?

yes, good point. when I first started using these tool I used the depth guide on them, then eventually it came off and i never went back.
Nice video,hey whats the adapter called on your drill when you screw the drywall ??
It the collated magazine for the dewalt drywall gun. th-cam.com/video/6L04EAPm4Zs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vcMDzekEgzm6IO_X
Best video demonstrating DCS551
Thank You.
You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Great review
How does it do with the ends of the cut? Does it create burs
Thank you. I was having trouble changing the bit. Now it's a breeze
Glad to help!
Will this work on plastic electric boxes?
I know it’s not ideal but could I use Dewalts compact router with a 1/4” rotozip bit? I just need to do a few boxes.
I don’t understand why clamping it down caused the blow-out. Can you explain a bit further. Enjoy yours vids. Thx. Might buy this tool. Dewalt!!!
no prob, the clamp is to simulate the drywall being screwed down to close to a cutout, this will put pressure on the drywall and when you do a cut, the closer you get to the end of your cut the drywall will give and potentially break, like it did in the vid. hope that helped
Great video. Found this while viewing your drywall screw gun video (great video as well) Can you use the same technique for wood paneling? I've had to do a few remodels with paneling and spent way too much time cutting out the boxes and switches.
thank you! I wouldn't recommend this tool for wood paneling, a small trim trim router with a tracing bit would work best
What was the clamp used in this video?
What are the differences between the pits? When I got mine it came with 2 different ones
helpful. looking for tool to cut a piece of drywall for odd-shaped opening in ceiling.
This would definitely be the best tool for that.
You are a excellent teacher thanks!!!
thank you very much! Happy to help :)
4:15 that is the most ok important part, if you don't things get ugly🤣
hi Brad, thanks for video, I have a question, this tool is good to cut fire line drywall? pink boards 15mm?
no prob
Use the guard. so you don't have to do all the extra depth judgments
That’s great when you have an object to trace but how do you freehand cut in the middle of a hollow section? I can’t keep it straight….
ty very much for the info
Works well on a metal box, but what about a plastic box?
it works, just don't be to aggressive with it
thanks for sharing. awesome..
Great video. Whats the pencil you used in this?
That's a Pica, my favorite. You can get it on Amazon USA: amzn.to/3pJRlTW and Canada: amzn.to/3pKRNBg
@@hammerandhome Awesome, thanks for the reply.
Thanks Brad. The tutorial was great.
Thank you!
Can I use this power tool to take down a dry wall ceiling?
if you need to cut around things it might be helpful. but a good hammer and some friends is the best way to pull a ceiling.
Might be better with a Makita Drywall Saw
Proper review thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very mucho for helping us to learn more about it. God bless you 🙏. I just buy a dewalt rotory because I'm starting my drywall company. God bless and my present and future company....
Best of luck!
Nobody shows how to put the cutting off blades for steel and where to buy them?
The first screwhead! Flush is good!!!! Never trust those PB drills, trowel killers
Bro where did you get that pencil?
On Amazon, here's a link: USA: amzn.to/30ZqTd7 Canada: amzn.to/2X1xiTB it's a Pica and I use it all the time!
@@hammerandhome Awesome! I think I'll have to get one. Appreciated
3:47. I'm betting that's what the depth guage is for.
Right? Seems helpful to be able to adjust your depth to set it to just past half an inch.
Does anyone know if this is considered a rotary tool?
Why on earth do they not make a circle guide or dust collection system for this?
it would be handy that's for sure,
Big fail for me. Couldn’t get it to trace around the box. I was using 5/8. Guide bit was riding above the box edge. Bits were also breaking. Frustrated ended up cutting with drywall hand saw.
same here my i later learned i was just being an animal with it and pushing the bit too hard on the drywall causing them to break
can i cut 3/4 wood with this
think I could cut Luann/hollow doors with this?
Definitely not. Go for a router instead
Why not just leave the depth gauge on and take away all the unnecessary guess work as to wether you are too deep or not and risk damaging the electrical wires? Makes more sense IMO.
It’s just how it feels easier to use. If you watch other drywall vids you might notice that other guys do the same.
@@hammerandhome Yeah I’ve seen a lot of guys using them like that. Was just making the point as to why not just use the gauge. It was obviously researched and included as part of the tool for a good reason.
Can you do a video of that joist drill using it to mix concrete?
i never use any type of Drill to mix concrete. I would use it for a thinset. concrete should be mixed with a shovel or a mixing machine. it would burn out any drill because of the amount of rock in it.
@@HandymanHustle Definitely a great drill for those applications. I used the Mixing drill and still wouldn't recommend it for concrete, even if dewalt is saying its good for it. You will love your new purchase the more you use it. thanks for watching!
It's 26,000 RPM correct?
Can you use it on thin metal?
Not really. The bits that you can buy for this are typically designed for cutting drywall
Bro it literally says DRYWALL TOOL lol 😂
Can this tool cut wood too?
not really. better off getting a router for wood
So it doesn't come with depth guide.... I'm new at using one....The tapers hate me....maybe not in two years or so....
He removed the depth gauge :0. dont do this if your cutting electrical boxes you can hit wires.
26,000 rpm’s
My man
No thanks I will go with oscillating tool
I wanted a tool that cut through drywall but your right an oscillating tool can do the same an I just need to buy one tool an not two
Oscillating tool is great for electrical boxes and switches but for recessed lights, windows and doorways? This tool is so much faster it’s worth buying.
The box
What bits does it use
will take roto zips
2600 rpm?
Definitely misspoke. 2600 RPM wouldn't cut through paper very well. Probably just start a fire. 26,000 RPMS though can probably cut through ice. Anybody tried that?
Lol, yea right
That drywall didn't even send. I'll use an impact to the day I die.
Bomber!
26 THOUSAND RPMS. NOT 26 HUNDRED.
Anyone found a good way to capture the dust from these things? Tried one and it kicked out so much dust I opted to use a drywall saw instead.
you could tape a vacuum nozzle to the side of it if you wanted, but it will make it harder to use
What happens when you have a double gang box
It’s really no different. You plunge into the middle and move to the side, pull out a bit and find the outside of the box. Then follow it around.
I’m just not that guy
Sacked
Lol
I already don’t like you. I can already tell you gonna make me go spend a ton of money😂
@@dougb27 haha, I feel the same way about myself 😂
what a messy cut!!!
NÃO COMPREM ESSA MÁQUINA! Esse sistema de trava rápida é uma porcaria, A broca de 1/4" custa uma fortuna e a máquina pifou em 14 meses com pouco uso. LIXO!
I would have to disagree, I’ve had two running for years with no issues. My Drywaller also uses the same one with no issues.
Can I cut a plywood with the tool?
Not really. You’re better off to get a router
Great review.
