Works great lasts a long time. I'd recommend getting it as a combo with the 2x 5ah powerstack batteries from the other active deal, pretty good value all around.

I need to remove 600 fr sq of drywall ceiling due to a tree fall. This robust enough to speed up the process or mini sawzall?

Guessing you can't see the screws?
I would think something like a crowbar would work best.

This is more for installing new drywall and cutting openings for electric boxes. You want a crowbar + hammer + drill.+ oscillating saw

I built an office in my basement. Got one of these to make outlet cutouts in the drywall easier.

Having never used the tool before I got a little sloppy on some of the cutouts. In hindsight I should have just used my oscillating multi tool.

Unless you regularly do a lot of outlet cutouts I'd say this one is a pass, if you have other tools that can do the job.

This type of tool, when used correctly, is a game changer for hanging new sheets of drywall with cut-outs. You barely even need to measure and you end up with perfect cut-outs that perfectly fit perfectly every perfect time.

But if you are not hanging new sheets or don't know how to zip this thing around the object that you need a cut-out for, then an oscillating tool, utility knife, or drywall saw would be a better option when used carefully in combination with a tape measure and drywall square.

I was going to say something similar. For heavy use, these are great. If you hang drywall regularly or remodeling a house, finishing a basement, etc, this might be a worthwhile purchase.

For someone living in a finished or mostly finished home who just needs to infrequently cut a few drywall holes for running wires or adjust outlets, this is overkill. If you have a Dremel or similar rotary tool, get the drywall bit and you'll be set for one-off use. If you don't have a Dremel, an oscillating multitool can also do the job just fine. If you don't have either, use a drywall handsaw.

Just bought this a couple weeks ago through Acme, $175 and came with charger and 2x 5ah batteries. Nice tool so far. I've used it more like as dremel for detail grinding and cutting.

20v seems quite excessive for this tool
