RotoZip RZ20  [Posted on 2007-01-16]
I had my 1st chance to use the saw yesterday. I was working on a job that normally required a wood chisel. The RotZip was a great time-saver. It cut through the wood with ease. I would definetly recommend the model with the light. The only negative is that the saw is produces a loud screeching noise at times. Hearing protection might be a good idea for large jobs. This tool is a very helpful addition for woodworkers.

A really handy tool [Posted on 2007-02-22]
I just installed heavy plastic polystyrene tub surround panels in a bathroom re-do project and I had to trim the panels and make faucet hole cutouts---the Rotozip zipped thru this stuff like a hot knife thru butter--also had to grind away the base of a heavy metal door frame for floor panel installation---the tool paid for itself in one project!!

Defective [Posted on 2007-04-06]
I bought this tool last weekend for a bathroom project. I used it about 4-5 times to cut some drywall. When I went to change out the extension, I found that my keyless chuck is stuck. It will not open up no matter what I do. I will be returning this over the weekend.

I searched Google for "Rotozip Keyless Chuck" and found a forum where the person had the exact same problem.

You Need One [Posted on 2007-05-28]
I recently started the project of building a deck. I have been wanting a spiral saw for a while and I came across this kit. First of all the saw is very high quality. The zipmate attachment, the bag, and the jigsaw handle are also very high quality. The circle cutter attachment could be built a little heavier, but it will get the job done. You get a nice assortment of bits and wheels in this kit. They even include a bit holder. It took me a few minutes to get used to the saw, but after I got the hang of it I love it. The keyless chuck is a nice feature. You can change bits without a tool. I always hated that about a dremel tool. The variable spped is a bit of a marketing ploy. Most materials need to be cut at high speed, but it does have variable speed control. Bottomline, if you have a need for a spiral saw you can't go wrong with this kit.

Locked up chuck [Posted on 2007-10-28]
Out of the box, the chuck was frozen solid (minus one star). Returned the tool. Their instructions specifically say to call them, do not return it to the vendor. I'm supposed to halt a project while they fix their problem? The replacement worked like the original should have. Subtract another star because I'm not sure this product is worth twice the price of the DeWalt DW660SK kit. But once I had a functioning unit, it works like it is supposed to.
