Who uses a sharpie to mark their lines?

. Is there a huge issue with your boxes not being cutout by the drywallers that these are required?

I could say the same thing about the tool this thread was made for.

Anyways

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.

Did you respond to the right person? All i said was that "blind mark" product was an obvious xspot knockoff.

I was just responding to the "blind mark" and xspot tool as a whole. As Gerard pointed out they are good for someone doing their own drywall and don't want to mark every box but in whole house but installing say 100 of these in a house doesn't seem practical.

Ya def not practical. Let the drywallers worry about cutting the box holes.

Why make this?

Because some people must have ANY new tool on the market.

This is especially true if it's a Festool and your name is......

Lol.....I'm really really failing to see the point of this tool....even a wood one is kinda stupid considering with a good sharp blade and a non harbor freight oscillating saw its very quick..

I think the idea is to use those when you're the one that's replacing a piece of drywall.
No way professional drywallers would use something like that -- way too slow for them.
You and I -- might be a different story. Even with measure twice, cut once, chances are, we're still going to screw things up at least few times. :-)

Ya I'm doing about 1,000 sq foot worth of home with new drywall. So they def help as I work room to room. I tell ya I hate doing drywall and finishing it. It's my least favorite home project. Reminds me of body work. No matter how perfect you think you have it there is always flaws when it's painted. It's def a artform. I watched tons of YouTube videos and I'm getting better but not even close to the pros. I watch them rip thru it on these videos then you try that yourself and your ready to throw the 5 gallon Pail of compound thru a damn window lol.
