Customer Review: Fantastic saw, super handy - just make sure you put it together correctly!
Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I was eager to try out this new saw. Having never tried (or heard of) a Rotozip before, I was curious to see where I could put it to good use.
Sure enough, I just had to put in a new patio door and needed to cut out some old trim, siding, and j-channels. Man, did this thing come in handy! First of all, you can more accurately cut with this saw than with using a Sawzall, which is what I was comparing it to. It's pretty impressive to have such a powerful tool in one hand, allowing you to make precise cuts with ease. Of course, it can be daunting as well, as I had horrible images of accidentally sawing off a finger or too.
Make sure you have the blade guard on at ALL times, even though it makes it tougher to cut. Unfortunately due to the guard, you cannot make very deep cuts with this saw (maybe 2"-3"). But you will definitely have an accurate, smooth cut, without a doubt.
This saw comes with a blade for wood, a diamond blade for tile, and a fine toothed blade for ceramics and metal. Thus far I've only used the wood blade, and it has been absolutely fantastic. I've used it to trim branches off my Christmas tree, make small cuts in some 2"x4"s, and used it on vinyl siding, all with great results.
The one thing worth mentioning - make SURE you read the directions carefully on how to put the blade in. I thought I read them correctly, but the thick washer that you use to secure the blade (with the indentation in it) goes on with the indentation facing INWARDS, towards the handle. It does not go on the way you would think it would go, with the indentation facing outwards, allowing you to screw it down tighter. I initially had it in backwards, and the blade was wobbly and it chewed up the plastic safety guard. The blade also spun independently of the motor. In essence - if the washer is put on incorrectly, the blade is LOOSE. The directions weren't clear AT ALL on this point - never mentioned it, and the picture they drew was almost impossible to see which way the nut was facing. This could be a potentially serious issue for this company, as I could imagine the wobbly blade flying off and gouging someone in the face.
My only other gripe is that it didn't come with a case. So I have the saw and all the blades and tools that I need for it just sitting on a bench in my garage. Would've been nice if they included a case.
Besides these two hiccups, this little saw is fantastic and extremely useful! It's got plenty of power for just about anything you could use it for. This may be one of those tools that seems useful but would be something you wouldn't necessarily buy. I'm telling you - this Rotozip is VERY useful, and definitely worth the price.
