JD Send me the link for it please.JD wrote:There are also jamb saw attachments that hook up to a drill. Personally, I use a Rigid One Hand reciprocal saw. This is a small sawzall, with a 1/2" saw travel, compared to a 1 1/4" travel of a big sawzall. The big saw can reach down and cut wire and pipe very easily. Not good! With a 4"-6" blade, holding the small saw at a 30 degree or so angle, you can cut through the 5/8" particle board with only having a 1/4' or so getting through the wood. Still not 100% safe because of bad wiring and plumbing practices on some older homes.
The saw is under $80 and I find it MUCH easier than a jamb saw to use. Then the next time you are making intricate cuts, or taking out old steel plumbing, you will be so glad you have this saw. I use it all the time for all kinds of repairs. Be careful though. There is no safety switch or blade guard. When picking the saw up, it is easy to activate it.
Oh! I already have one of those.eflyersteve wrote:http://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-4-Amp ... bXRrPkm5WY
This one is listed at $99 but is usually on sale.
Usually on sale. Lowes has a version also.
If you are going to get that one I would go with something like this, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dremel-6300-DR- ... 0504581%26. For the same price it's factory reconditioned, the one you linked to looked pretty used. I bought a factory reconditioned dremel multimax from CPO outlets and it's been fine for me. The dremel will get the job done but it will be slow and the blades cost a pretty penny. Just some things to think about. I love mine and use it for all sorts of things, it's been laying out in the kitchen and used every day for the last week or so.
