I used to be a Milwaukee rep and I sold tons of these blades. They work great and last a long time, that's why they're sold individually.
That’s sick dude you were a Milwaukee rep? How was that did you get free tools?
I use my undercutting tool with a wood blade to get clean drywall cuts. I am not sure my reciprocating saw would give me that accuracy.
Why are multitool blades so expensive? Many of them dont have any carbide on them and they dont last long depending on what its cutting or scraping. Wondered why can you get reciprocating blades so much cheaper yet they're both pure steel.
@@morokeiboethia6749 I need the answer myself . It is insane, basically spend $16 to cut that one nail that is holding you up.
I do not throw any of those away no matter how messed up they are and I only buy them on sale around Christmas. Great tool just terrible blades
For reciprocating saw there's tons of blades that can cut drywall. What they need is a guard attachment that allows you to control depth of the cut so you wont be bending expensive blades or accidentally cutting wires behind drywall.
I have been doing reno and opening drywall for years. You can cut the length of a regular blade down with grinder and it will have the same concept and be one less tool to lose. But a great concept non the less.
It's good to have options.
I started using the Makita xds01z for reno and repair cut out work. Has a accurate blade depth adjustment along with dust capture. The con is proprietary blade and can only get so tight into the corner. Worth looking into for repair and reno work. For new install not as much.
Yeah I was wondering whether to get this tool or the makita roto-zip. Good to hear you like the drywall saw
Multi tool works best . It’s quick and agile. Obviously you have to angle the blade and not just blast through everything. The zall blade looks good but unnecessary unless you have the mini sawzall
This.
Rotozip.
I’ve done demolition for years and the multi tool has some issues. Blades go quick, ESPECIALLY with plaster, it’s noisy and sometimes you risk over cutting or undercutting. I still use it every demo job, but I can’t wait to get this.
My wife and I moved in the house that we built ourselves 6 months ago (we did everything except for the electrical) so with being a new homeowner when something tears up obviously it falls on us. And that’s where channels like yours come in real handy. Thanks a lot brother!
Congrats on your new home, that’s huge! And thanks for watching our channel!
Thanks for giving this a try and showing us the results.
Any time I have to open a wall and I am not certain if (or where) the pipes and/or wires may be, I use a rotary saw (Rotozip type) and set the 1/8" diameter blade to cut just about 1/16"-1/8" deeper than the thickness of the drywall. Works great, cuts fast, never hits a wire or pipe and the cut out pieces can be put right back in, taped and finished.
It's a little messy, but I can have a helper hold a shop vac nozzle near the saw and catch most of the dust.
This video doesn't change my mind.
I do that a lot as well. Or a multi tool, I found that this blade is a bit harder to line up your cut because it so small and the Sawzall is so big.
Spiral cutout tool is the way to go. Fast and easy Rotozip is what I've used for years.Depth adjustment is easy. The problem with a reciprocal action is you will always risk nicking something in a retrofit. If yourinstalling drywall in new construction it doesn't matter.
I agree, I use the dewalt cut out tool over this for new install, for renos this is handy
Did you use that blade to cut your hair??
haha funny guy! maybe on the next vid
HAHAHA I was literally thinking the same thing!!!! needs a little tapering much on the sides and back. Good thing the content was good. lol.
🤣
@@imcubanbe3841 lol. I actually cut it myself, it was out of control long. 🤣
I guess it looks better than a bowl cut. 🤔 Still, I would think that if you used a Wahl clipper set or similar you could get better self cut results than this. Lmao! ( while writing I noticed he looks like a Little Rascal with those overalls and haircut).
Looks good. I generally use an oscillating tool with the half moon style blade. If I am tearing out a tub surround I prefer using a circular saw with the blade set at 1/2 inch. That way I can cut through the drywall quickly without damaging studs, wiring, or plumbing.
I do see where that blade could be handy for some tradesmen, and some situations, but my go to is still an oscillating tool. They can be a little slow, but don't create a lot of airborne dust.
Thanks for the video.
Might be a small accessory but it'll be a huge help
If it ever got dull, it would be easy to sharpen or just dress up the edges. I have both that saw and the "foldable" DeWalt recip saw...and will soon have that blade.
good idea
During demo i often run into having to cut vertical center of stud. Also, almost always cut horizontally through the middle of walls for easy disposal size. This thing would bounce all over the place when you contact studs, and at that rate, you might as well use your skillz and hold your normal blade at a safe depth/angle. Only good for the stud bay in my opinion
I’ve used this blade to remove damaged drywall, super easy to cut a section out. I don’t think it would work well with a full size sawzall because the stroke length is longer than the blade so it will fully come out of if the drywall on every stroke
that's a good point, i'll have to give it a try
Thank you for removing the battery first when attaching the blade to the tool.
Safety First!
Also i love that 1 handed recip.
love that sawsall its pinchy .that really hurts when the blade is in .
Always! Thanks for watching!
What did you fear was going to happen with the battery in it?
Interesting idea, though I agree with you that it would only work well on a saber saw. For big cuts without a knife, I like the hook blade on an oscillating tool. I have the Dewalt drywall cutout tool as well, I like the depth adjustment plate and it cuts clean. Plus it takes the regular Rotozip blades.
I was a sparky for 50 years and would never use s sawzall to cut out a wall case for a receptacle. Too easy to ovetcut. Used a handsaw that accepts sawzall blade. Think it was a 10 tooth blade that has a pointed nise to push thru sheetrock to start cut. Even worked great on double 5/8" thick walls.
I have one of those, very handy
The actual best way to cut drywall is to just use a DULL oscillating tool blade. Cuts clean as hell, and it’s not going to damage anything you don’t want it to. You can do the same thing for pvc conduit. I’ve done this to replace and repair conduit that already had wires run through it, without having to pull the wires all the way out. The friction burns a cut in the pvc, and basically ignores the wire as long as you don’t push against it, since the wire isn’t rigid.
Just a thought if you used a larger Sawzall with adjustable guard plate you could choose your depth of cut🎉
NIce review. The blade performs exactly as you demonstrated.
i used a carbide round ocelating blade for grout on the ocelating cutter on 1/5 drywall . its slow but it didnt even hurt the 3 mm plastic vapor barrior under the drywall. i think it wont do 5/8 drywall ... maybe grind it so it goes in deeper
I think it's short on purpose to not go through to make sure not to cut anything on the other side.
@@firesurfer the wall had hot and cold pex pipe touching the back of the drywall .it would have cut a pipe any way else of cutting the wall. Disaster averted
@@scottwood5098 Most places have double 5/8 drywall. It's required by code. That should be enough.
The description on the package and picture shows this.
Your wall of tools literally looks like a cartoon wall of tools until you pull it from out of nowhere. Off of the wall 🤦😂😂 Subscribed
thanks! I wish i had a bigger wall to put them all up😆
Interesting how that blade makes most the dust shoot out the back side of the drywall, makes the clean up easier.
For cutting full sheets nothing works better than a snap blade and only scoring the paper both sides and snapping for making holes or cut outs I ONLY use HOLE SAWS, or the Milwaukee hackzall or a drywall cutter with drywall bit
agreed, but it is pretty handy for reno work
@@hammerandhome you ain’t gotta tell me I love my hackzall for cutting out screws or nails or Ramset nails in bottom plates and such get you a Milwaukee gen purpose snub blade it’s a beauty
Thanks for some ideas lol. This is perfect use for old broke saws all blades. Just grind it down to rough shape and a diamond wheel and the dremel to cut the "teeth" idk why I haven't thought of doing that 🤷♂️.
My pleasure lol. I thought the same thing once I used it
It's not how blunt the blade is or how long it is.The power tool the blade is in is strong enough to rip/tear a wire or pipe I'd like to see you actually hit a wire or pipe with it before telling us it works and will keep us safe great vid just not as in depth as it needs to be
i will have to do a follow up vid, maybe with a mock up wall.
@@hammerandhome thanks for taking the time to reply I look forward to a follow up I am interested in seeing if its as good as advertised 👍
I believe if you already have something like that 12V recip it would be worth it to have some of those blades in your inventory. If you don’t, as I don’t, I agree with another commenter that using a regular corded recip with these blades isn’t practical.
They do fill a niche but not enough to add additional kit, in my opinion.
I am a RotoZip guy myself, but have no truck with the other methods. I have used an earlier model oscillating tool and it works okay. I haven’t used some of the newer ones so cannot give an informed opinion
I like the small sawzall for little things like this, but that's as far as it goes, I would not recommend it for larger jobs, I typically use my drywall cut out tool for most work, how ever i did just use this blade on a flood job and it worked very nicely, little dust compared to a cutout tool. I should try it on a larger sawzall and see how it goes. thanks for watching
Been using a Sawzall for 40 years. Guess what; I’ve never chewed up a wire in the wall using a normal wood blade. It’s all about the operator.
And luck so far. I've seen Pex right tight against the drywall. I'm way more concerned of water damage than shorting a wire.
yeah especially when you are working with green guys, this takes out the risk
Congratulations...... but you wear shoes and many people in the world don't.
I’d like to give it a try. I’ve gotten the art of using a normal blade down to a T though so 🤷🏼♂️
With so much yellow, dude can’t give an honest review on anything Dewalt lol. He’s an addict
Milwaukee Fanboys are the same as DeWalt fanboys. Always virtual singling their colors.
@@FarmerFpv except milwaukee has better tools than dewalt...
Pretty obvious his opinions are bought and paid for, he didn't buy all those yellow tools. I'm shocked the overlords allowed him to review something red and white...
@Kevin Vermeer I always give my honest opinion on what I’m showing. I also own Milwaukee, Bosch and festool. You should check out my channel. Thanks for watching
Cool! My toolbox needs one!
And if your a skilled tradesman you can do it with a regular blade without damaging anything lol been doing it awhile
i think this blade is more for people who don't cut board very often, or just don't want to risk it
Oscillating multi tool is all ya need to cut drywall, or wood, or vinyl siding, pretty much anything. They aren't too expensive either
Love the multi tool, so many uses
You didn’t do a plunge cut..what’s the tail out look like…
Looks a bit out of place with my 2 hander.
I’ve seen them But wasn’t sure about them good review a new sub here
right on! thanks for watching
I'm a plumber i use the back of my hammer
So true! I think it's an actual law of the universe!
lol, yeah you do
Yes, I think I've seen your handiwork.
We noticed. Plumbers are the bane of carpenters' life.
Get a grinder and some old blades and you can make a bunch of these
good tip
i wish they would make this with a tshank for a jigsaw.
Good idea !
just cut an old jigsaw blade in its highest position down to 12.5mm and one for double layer 25mm. No Milwaukee mumbojumbo.
@@Zozo806 that's thinking! good tip!!
What happens when you hit a stud ? Does it bend ?
Lol...a good kick followed up with some foul language, and a trip to your truck to get the right tool.
it definitely bumps you out hard, so make sure you cut at a bit of an angle
@@hammerandhome the Dremel plunge saw works way better than anything I’ve tried
I have the imperial blade ovulating drywall blade, it has a depth gauge on it. One side is good for pushing on it to cut, other side is a pull cutting option. DeWalt makes one,.and masterforce (Menard's) I'm sure Diablo will make one to stake out their dominance in the blades.
Think I stick to a Stanley knife
I broke a blade off in my vice with a hammer 15 years so the blade only went an inch from the end of the saw. I guess I should have got a patent.
yup, i think so
Makita dsd180 is a much better option, and almost dustfree...
Thats a sweet tool. I’ve been wanting to get that for a long time.
Definitely putting one in my sawzall blade box.
cool, thanks for watching
You can see the fiber glass in the board eating up the paint. Lol
I usually like to split the drywall on the studs how does it work on that?
I’ll do a video on that. Haven’t tried that yet.
Never split drywall on stud center, the then you only have 3/4” inch to screw in, that’s not enough to really get a good mount, plus drywall always breaks behind paper or you have to angle screw and break the paper, best to cut drywall along side of stud, then add 2x4” scabbed on stud to cut side, now you can properly mount the drywall to a 11/2” stud on both sides of drywall
@@titirititiri6360 whatever dude
@@carlreichelt8724 only speaking as a b3 general who has owned a very successful remodeling company for over 10 years now , been in the trades for over 23 years. I may not know it all, but definitely know what I am taking about in regards to residential and commercial remodeling.
@@titirititiri6360 I love it is so simple. I hate having to angle my screws or blowing out the paper ends.
Thanks youtube, I'll watch.
i have seen the bigger Milwaukee blade that looks like that blade but is WAY bigger and is for wood and nails. BUT that blade is cool!😎😎
they make great blades, thx for watching :)
@@hammerandhome 👍👍😎😎😎
Just save the cutouts if you can't cut a square hole . Thanks the drywall repair guy .
fiber-drywall is definitely recommendable to drywall
Awesome. Do Dewalt make a saw like that Milwaukee one???
Ah just seen you put it in a Dewalt saw. I’ll have to look for that thing.
Very neat!
Is the Milwaukee drywall blade able to plunge cut, or do you need a starter hole?
It’s small enough to jam it in the wall.
Can you make a plunge cut with it?
Yes
yup you sure can
I'm currently doing demo at a hotel/casino here in Reno NV and the bathrooms in the units have wallpaper, well we remove the wallpaper and cut a few spots of drywall. My question is.... will this blade be effective cutting through the drywall and the wallpaper glue?
definetly can handle wall paper, and its made for drywall, so i think it would be good for ya
Doesn't compare to the saf t kut brand.
A keyhole saw is sufficient. Breaking out a sawsaw to cut a hole in sheet rock is overkill.
Sure mate. I do insurance work. We do very large drywall repairs where we need to cut long and straight cuts in walls and ceilings, and we have to work fast. We use multi tools. A lot of the older drywall has an aggregate in it that destroys blades in seconds though, and I'm looking for a solution, I'm tempted to try this.
I'd like to see you try to make money doing my job with your handsaw lol.
@@Patrick-857 well prepare for a lot of dust.
have you looked at the Makita drywall saw?
@@hammerandhome I'm interested in it, but it's expensive and has proprietary blades. Also it can't get right up to walls and ceilings. I already have a rotary cut out tool, recip and multi tool. I'm unlikely to buy it because of its limited use case. We will see in the future.
@@newguy1612 I'm pretty used to that. It's unavoidable. We sometimes hold the vacuum right up to the cut, other times deck te house out in plastic and drop cloths. Often we are working around furniture, curtains and carpet. It's a nightmare, but we don't get a choice, insurers are rarely interested in replacing an entire wall or ceiling, rather than just the part that's water damaged, and even if they were, we would still be multi tooling through the plaster joints in many cases. Guys doing new builds have it easy. Renos and insurance is tough. I'm mentally exhausted from all the planning and problem solving at the end of each day. I'm installing a kitchen at the moment, and this house is so bad I'm having to scribe every panel in, and using a level is put of the question, because nothing is straight, square, plumb or level. It would be fine if I had done the measurements for the kitchen, but a lady from one of the local timberyards did, and she didn't account for certain things. I would have preferred the bench tops were left long so I can cut to fit, but no. It's enough to drive you insane.
This blade cut too slow. Give it up. Just use 6inch wood blade. Much faster and last longer.
It does "These one's" but does it do "Those one's"?
Try DIAMOND SAW CHAFFEE NY world's finest saw blades 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You compare it to plunging with the hand saw but never show it plunging.
that's true, I plan on doing another vid to show that
Just use the cutout tool
I totally agree, I think the cut out tool is an easier tool to use
Yo. Use a rotozip
usually do
Didn’t try a plunge cut??
your right, i should have , going to have to make another vid on that one i guess
Thank you. You opened my eye to a better product
does it work for walls that are made with plaster
not sure, I won't be working on any plaster wall any time soon, so I wont be able to test it
I think it's perfect for the mini Milwaukee jig saw.
wont fit in that little guy, only sawzalls, but you could take a jig saw blade and cut it down
How well would it work for cutting peg board.
I’d say it would work shit
wouldn't work at all.
Did this guy just wake up
That hair is crazy
Lol
Hey superman you look tired you should take a rest, yeah 🥱🥱😵💫
Definitely gonna wonna wonta get this funny lookan blade. 👍🪚
Thats what she said, many times..lmfao
It's a nice idea but it's crap. Would work if it could cut with ease through 2 layers of 5/8 drywall.
another option is to cut down a blade to your desired length
I wanna make a bet. If I can catch a wire and fck it up with that sawzall blade, you have to throw all that yellow garbage behind you away
multitool does the same lol
I quit watching when you removed the battery to install the blade
lol, I do that because I get more comments about how i should remove the battery before i change the blade. 😂
Useless if you have to cut up close to tiles that are 10mm thick, stick to oscelating tools
Great video. It got me a little sick with all the dewalt tools in the background. I can’t stand that yellow it makes me want to vomit. Idk why. Has nothing to do with the quality of the tools.
Lol 😂, thanks for watching
Just use the multitool he he he ,who use sawzall to cut drywall?????
This could have been a 2 minute video.......
thanks for watching
it looks like it will last forever. nice blade.
Obviously a Dewalt employee. The other colors are just there to camouflage it.
Oh come on, Milwaukee fan boys are no different than Dewalt fanboys. Both always running around virtual signaling their colors.
fyi I love Milwaukee, and have a few of their tools. I just started on the dewalt platform first.
Why would you buy more than one platform? All that does is make you have to buy different batteries that won’t fit your tools
@@russianacorns8080 not every platform makes the same tools. I do all different types of work so it makes sense for me.
@@hammerandhome yeah here and there but mainly you choose one cordless brand because of the convenience of having one battery it’s a totally different story for corded or pneumatic tools
Makita made battery powered tool...
its a sweet tool
Not a nice cut it’s a no,no
Hated it. Soooo dull. Had to shove it down the drywall.
Awesome blade, thanks Brad😎😍😎😍😎
If you can't cut drywall without cutting your finger off you probably shouldn't be cutting drywall
😂
Stop calling your dewalt recprocating saw a sawzall. Sawzall is a Milwaukee brand name.
Lol, it’s pretty much universal now.
I stop watching when I saw all the dewalt
lol
taking a look at your tools they all look new. what the hell do you know. you are not even using them.
How about 20 years in the trades, and I like clean tools. Thanks for watching
👍🏻🍻🍺🤙🏼
You need to take that battery powered drywall tool and throw it in the trash. It will hurt you.
