Post by: mc1960 on February 08, 2015, 10:57:31 am

What tools do you like to use in cutting into a wooden wall, skillsaw, sawsall, multimaster, etc.?

Hammer and prybar........

But I prefer sheetrock to wood.

In my years of electrical renovation, variable speed sawsall w blade matched to the job wins hands down.

It depends on the situation.  A skill saw with a careful depth adjustment, an 8 tooth carbide tipped blade (and goggles of course) and you can cut up the middle of a stud.  Some situations are just screaming for a saws-all...

Saw all is hard to beat

   Yes!  It saves the homeowner some money when you center the cut on the studs. the repairman can just cut new sheetrock to fit, tape, mud and paint..
   I have seen some horrendous messes created by supposed removal "experts".  Some of us take a little pride in what we do..   Watch JP some time, he doesnt typically chop random holes in peoples houses.
     I have a small battery powered rotory (skill) saw I have modified so I can get right up against another wall, then the sawsall to cut across.  Makes for a neat impressive job.
