Does it work with fein? (Festool) I could see this working well for a corded unit but feel a cordless one would be under powered. If you had the tool handy it would be awesome...however for a hang and bang situation it's pretty pointless.
LSD and a sharp keyhole saw is just as quick if not quicker! It's sheetrock, you can cut it with a butter knife. I'm sure this tool cuts fine, it's just a matter of is it really quicker and/or needed.

Nobody said cutting sheetrock was hard. Point is if you have a bunch of these to do in a home it's a great time saver.
Looks to be more efficient to me than a template and a jab saw.

Nice tool. Would like to see it cutting through a cabinet.

Ah, you get that email, too?
It looks like that might not work as simply as shown. It cuts all four sides of a rectangular hole, so it vibrates left and right while top and bottom keep it from moving up and down, and vibrates up and down while the left and right sides keep it from moving left to right. It cuts all four edges at the same time.
This is still a better idea, though, than all of those flashlights that force you to toggle through a strobe setting to turn the damn thing off. Do you know of anyone who NEEDS a strobe setting on a flashlight, and needs it bad enough that ALL such flashlights have it? (You'd think that if someone needed a flashlight that strobed, the strobe rate would have to be variable.) Why are you using those cheap LED flashlight? I have a quality one by streamlight without strobe.

Every flashlight I've come across that has the strobe feature are designed as headlights for bicycles. The strobe is a safety feature to make them easily visible at night. Because of their brightness, they have become popular to people for other purposes as well.

70 dollar streamlight and no strobe. Two speeds very bright and bright enough. I usually see the strobe on cheapo lights at home centers. Matter of fact my Streamlight head lamp does not either. Knor does my Streamlight Lightbox.

Back too the saw. You guys don't do it like many electricians. Whack a hole with a hammer, look at wall with a slight slant of the head and proceed to eyeball and cut a slightly oversized and crooked hole.

[Link: amazon.com] with a rotary tool with a drywall bit. But the blind marks can add up $$$$ in a large project.

Looks like xspot got ripped off Who uses a sharpie to mark their lines? Also that looks like its used at prewire. Is there a huge issue with your boxes not being cutout by the drywallers that these are required? I have had a few boxes missed by drywallers and it may be one every 100 houses. If you have paperwork stating where they are located they shouldn't be difficult to find. Worst case scenario you inform the builder/GC/Site Supervisor and have them sign the liability stating any drywall repair will not be paid for by your company with all labor billable at standard company rates.

I have had and used one of the LSD template thingies since the dawn of time. Can someone explain the reason for the notches on the corners on the thing?
Are those there for some specific cut in ring that I have never seen? Metal high voltage box

I'm curious about using the tool. How much dust does it kick up? With a drywall saw I can (somewhat) control the dust. The particles are relatively large and by controlling the saw stroke, I can guide the bulk of the trash inside the wall with the remainder falling straight down. Airborne dust is minimal. I have tried using a powered saw, but airborne dust is significant. Further, I'm not likely to "feel" a wire behind the wall if I use a motorized saw. This tool is likely to throw dust every which way, but since there is no need for the blade to travel beyond the rear face of the drywall, wire damage is not likely.
