Review: Turns drywall demo into a clean, painless job - Pros The Makita XDS01Z cut-out saw is fantastic. The adjustable blade depth makes it versatile for different drywall thicknesses, and it cuts quickly while staying nearly dust-free when connected to a vacuum. It transforms drywall demo—a task I’ve always dreaded—into something fast, controlled, and clean. Cons None. Value At $229.86 (time of review), the price is in line with other Makita tools and fair for the quality. The real value comes from how much it simplifies one of the worst jobs in renovation. Overall This is the drywall tool I didn’t know I needed. It makes an awful job almost enjoyable, and I’d absolutely order it again. I’d even lend mine out just to convince others how good it is.
Review: Very much an awesome tool, I highly recommend this if in the restoration or construction industry - This is one of the best tools i have bought in a long time. It is a tool fought over in our company. Only wished I could get like 5 more of these. So Makita send me this product lol.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How well does it cut through plywood?**
A: Blazes through. Sheeyit, I even cut through some metal drywall corner trim cos I was too lazy to get the sawzaw from the barn (don't recommend cutting through metal tho, it jerked the saw quite a bit). Before buying, I was wondering if it would cut through wood very well. After putting to use, it works fantastic. Ripping out basement drywall with studs I zipped through cutting about 100' of drywall and treated 2x4s in 20 mins.  Makes nice clean cuts too. I even purchased 2 additional blades but never had to use. The one that came with the saw is still a shark. Very good tool!

**Q: can i use it to cut for a 3' round box?**
A: Well you can. Not super easy though. More designed for straight cuts. You should check out an adjustable "Hole Pro" for dust free hole drilling.  They work really well.   This tool has changed my life by the way. I have to cut out drywall for accessing electrical or doorways or 1 million different things in remodel work and it is fast, accurate, and dust free.

**Q: Cant find vacuum adapter for hose**
A: I am using the hose from the Hyde 09170 Drywall Vacuum Sander (https://www.amazon.com/Hyde-09170-Dust-Free-Drywall-Vacuum/dp/B000M2WSHY). The fit isn't overly tight, but I've remove ceiling drywall and no issue with the hose staying put. 

I tried this after not finding an adapter at Lowes/Home Depot, and was quite happy. Both tools are awesome.

**Q: What about houses with interior plaster. Do blades hold up?**
A: I haven't tried this saw on plaster, but i would guess not. Tried much tougher looking saws on plaster, and it just chews through the blades.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I absolutely love this tool
*by C***S on January 3, 2021*

I put off getting this for over a year. First I own DeWalt tools and it is sold as a tool only. So the cost is very high for one tool. You've now got to go out and buy a charger and battery. That said, I'm remodeling my house. I needed to put in a lot of sockets in each room. So I cut a line below the baseboard in all the rooms. First this tool is so quiet. It cuts a 1/16" line and its perfect. No dust, cuts just through the drywall and the backer paper and you are done. I cut a 19 foot strip in my living room that took 1 minute 50 seconds. No mess. When I was done, I just attach my vacuum to the tool and vacuum out the dust. For me having the vacuum attached the entire time would be more of a pain. So I'm finding lots of project for this tool. If you are a handyman or contractor, well this is a quick way to cut into someones wall without all the mess. What I'm doing now, had I had to use a recipricating saw and cut all of this, it would have been a great deal harder. Messy, unwanted drywall damage, possible severed wires behind the drywall and broken bits of drywall. The battery and charger can be found for 1/2 the price if you search around. I'm glad I bought this, it was well worth the money.
