## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could I use this as an occasional use substitute for a dremel tool or router? What issues would I face? Will the chuck adapt for misc cutting bits?**
A: I tried to use the 1/8" multi purpose bit to route out a pocket in a 2x10 piece of lumber. The result was that the bit wanted to walk all over the place and broke after about 30 seconds. Lesson learned. Use the right tool for the job.

**Q: okay to use with backer board?**
A: You need a tile cutting bit I would guess, it kind of has small spikes on it, I’ve only used it on tile but I think it would cut concrete backer board if that’s what you’re talking about

**Q: Does it have a light?**
A: YES...it has a bright LED light.

**Q: Does it come with a battery**
A: I bought the tool only but I'm sure they have it with battery and charger for alot more money

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient little tool.
*by D***L on December 7, 2022*

Convenient little tool. Works well for its intended purpose of drywall cut out. Especially like the keyless shank.Also use it Dremel style. I ordered a quarter inch sleeve so I can put my quarter inch router bits and Dremel bits into it.I've been using it quite a bit for foam and steel work. Stone bits work really well with this. I use it for the heavy duty stuff but the intricate details still need a Dremel.Battery life seems pretty good. Went all day on a 4 amp hour. Never ran the battery to empty. So I really don't know how long the battery is actually last.Great value when on sale.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool for home reno and more
*by L***E on June 8, 2021*

Solid cut out tool from DeWalt. The quick change system has worked very well for me, never having a problem. The fact that it's cordless makes it REALLY convenient, allowing for quick working around a room, especially since your power is probably turned off. I wouldn't say it's the fastest or most powerful cut out tool, but as long as you use a good bit and apply "Slow is smooth, smooth is fast", you'll find it working well. Great value for working with drywall, but can struggle at times with paneling, but can still get the job done. Zero regrets on this investment. Keep in mind that if you're damaging outlet boxes, most likely you're using the wrong bit or have the depth way off. A tracing bit makes the job way too easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome
*by J***G on January 1, 2022*

This tool cuts wood, plastic/vinyl, drywall materials, everything I have put it through so far. Rotary tools are difficult to keep straight to begin with, but with practice, I have gotten pretty good at using this tool. Weights will vary with the battery that use, so the smaller 2ah batteries will cause less fatigue, but for longevity, larger batteries keep you moving without having to change and charge the battery as much. I’m currently using Rotozip bits, they fit fine, haven’t gotten a chance to try other brands yet. It’s worth the money as long as Dewalt doesn’t continue this Quality hit or miss standard they have done over the past few years. Mine is awesome
