Shark 10-2206 Rockeater Drywall Saw

This saw is perfect. 99% of my cuts are for cutting a hole in the middle of sheetrock, either for making a path for cables or cutting out a wall mount plate. The sharp tip of this knife pierces through even double sheetrock with ease, and the double-tooth blade is very sturdy and fine. It cuts quickly and with precision. My first time cutting through double sheetrock I didn't even realize, I thought I was at a bad angle for the cut and it was giving me minor trouble. I was very surprised when I knocked the pieces out to see two layers behind. The handle is contoured nicely for grip. It's soft enough that you could bang on with a free hand to get into the wall--but again, the sharp tip makes this unnecessary. A little twisting of the knife will get into any wall quickly. I saved the sheath from my previous saw (its only plus) and use this one all the time.

When my husband stepped through our attic floor into the garage, leaving 4ft of drywall sheet on the ground, we were pretty sure that we could fix the gaping hole ourselves, despite the fact that we had never laid drywall before. Long story short, we were successful, and it was due in no small part to this wonderful drywall knife. Another reviewer likened it to cutting butter, and it really was. Even as a female who has pretty much zero muscle tone in my arms, I was able to trim the ceiling hole and cut the new piece with ease. One item to note: it is VERY sharp and I haven't yet figured out a way to store it without the serrated blade being a possible liability when reaching for it in a tool box. Also, with a young child at home who loves to explore, I would feel more secure knowing that the saw had a sheath that a) protected it/me and b) covered the shiny, attractive metal that might attract my child's attention.

This is the best drywall keyhole saw out there 👍🏼👍🏼

Muy bien 👍

We have 3/4" plaster. Before I tried this saw, I had to use a couple different tools to get the hole started. With this Rockeater Saw, I'm able to poke the hole and get started with this saw alone! This thing is sharp and tough! I didn't expect it would be able to cut through our thick 1950s plaster wall, but it works great and much better than the other drywall saws.

I have no criticisms about the quality of this saw. It is made of good steel. It punches through sheet rock without flexing which might result in bending or breaking the blade. The blade holds its edge. However, in my opinion, the saw is too coarse. As in cutting any material, a minimum number of teeth needs to be in contact with the material throughout the cut. A saw that is too coarse for the thickness of material can often be slanted so that more teeth make contact with the material, but in certain situations this is not possible. This results in the blade wanting to grab and pull and tear. This coarseness also makes the blade take too big of a bite of the paper which results in a very ragged cut. This tendency is made worse if the drywall cannot be securely fastened when cutting. I respect the comments by professional drywall installers reviewing this tool, but I would prefer that the number of teeth per inch be in the 10 to 12 range, particularly for sheet rock 1/2 inch and under. It might not cut as fast, but the tendency to grab and resist the cut would be much improved. Outlet holes could be cut cleaner. And I doubt that a few more teeth per inch would result in any problematic teeth loading. This is a good tool, but I would like the option to buy it with a few more teeth per inch.

Works good

for doing cut-outs and cutting patches I've been using an oscillating saw.. but my cuts were so tight that the slightest hiccup would be cause for re-trimming. I grew up with big reciprocating saws, but I just don't like 'em.. they've always felt too heavy-handed.. And my experience with other jab saws? They were just too much work and still rough as could be. This one's the sweet spot. It's cheap-looking, but it'll do. every bit as easy as a power tool, believe it or not. I'm shocked by how much I like it. And I for one am glad the teeth aren't tighter. This blade also works great for circles. I'll still use the oscillating tool for cutting pieces from a new sheet of 1/2" to use for patchwork, but for making the holes, this is the one. doing a rewire over here.
