"The RotoSaw and RotoSaw+ each pair with a variety of accessory options to make cutting material as simple as zipping right through it," said Dan Blythe, RotoZip Product Manager. "We have a great solution for making holes in hard materials using the XCORES bit, and knowledgeable pros are taking advantage of it."

"Nothing is faster than using a RotoZip tool to cut through drywall for an outlet box or carving through tile to install a faucet. These simple tasks don't have to be ones that slow down a project," said Blythe.
