I bought mine at the local home improvement mega-store, but it's the same product. So far, I've used mine for cutting a small, unique section of pvc board to replace some rotted trim in my bay window and to cut out tile from my shower wall. The tool was plenty powerful, but not so much that you felt you might lose control of it while trying to make a detailed cut; in fact, some of the grout lines in my shower were 1/16" and I was easily able to avoid cutting into adjoining tiles that I wanted to keep.
but i then discovered the way to do it is to make several cuts each a little deeper into the board( using the guide and depth ring) until you have completely pierced the board. this is the second of two reviews on this same tool that i have written. in the first i bombed it as basically useless in cutting curves in hardiboard tile backer. very smooth strong. good tool well made.the first review i have deleted, I hope.
It makes it easy to shut the machine off when your hands are full. This is yet another addition to DeWalt's great line of tools. Other things that I like include the adjustable metal guide, the carrying case, and the good assortment of bits. It's awsome for cutting drywall, plaster, plywood, etc. One of the most important features to me is the bump off switch. One thing that I would like to see DeWalt include on this tool is a small worklight. I think it would only increase their ability to compete with some of the other manufactures of these rotary tools.
