    Rotozip?

    Got the Craftsman version of a Rotozip for Christmas. What would I ever use this thing for? Should I keep it? Or return it and get something else?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I look up the Rotozip page and they listed a whole bunch of applications.

      It is a good drywall tool. It can be handy in other aspects, but its uses tend to be fewer and farther between (better garage sale buy, let someone else pay full price).

      Look toward your needs, and make sure it isn't a hint from the wife to finish the basement.

        If you received the flex shaft (Included in some of the Plastic Kit Boxes) then the Craftsman-Rotozip is IMO better than a Dremel, if you have a use for a Dremel that is If you did not receive the flex shaft, Sears sells it separately for $20. As far other uses, as LinuxRandal said, drywall cutting e.g. outlets and the like it is usefull. The tool is too bulky for most other purposes and it would be easier to use a right angle grinder and/or a small router than a CM-rotozip for cutting and grinding. This again is MO

            Mine sits in its case, unless I gotta do drywall cutouts. It was too bulky and imprecise (to me) for woodworking, especially since I have a MultiMaster.
