What Customers Say About RotoZip RZ18V-2100 30,000 RPM 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Spiral Saw, includes Bosch Battery and Charger, ZipMate, and Tool Bag:

This tool is great with the dust extractor and a window/door drywall bit. I like a company who stands behind their tools. I haven't had the best luck using it with wood, I would prefer the power of a router. I had a motor in my rz18 burn out well after a warranty would have run out. I just received a new one in the mail after about a week and a half. It is easiest cleanest way I've found to cut large openings in draywall.

The included standoff attachment works, but is rather unsteady. While I've only used it on wood, I imagine it would remove paint, rust, and other stuff quite effectively.Remember, this is a battery powered tool. However, if the tool has been worked hard the charger waits till the battery cools down. It works, but is not as rock solid as I would like. Unfortunately, while a better fit, it is still not as solid as one would like. However, after more than a year of use I hardly notice it anymore.o Rather noisy.

I use it more as a router than for any other purpose.The tools (wrench, collets, and some bits) all fit in the handle, and so are with you wherever you are using the tool (a nice feature in a portable tool).Product support is very good. When I first spoke with Rotozip about the loose handle, they promptly mailed me a new one. I adapted a Dremel Advantage plunge router base to work with my rotozip (the round collars are the same diameter, making this quite easy to do). It has proven to be much more useful than I ever thought it would.Pros:Well built, high quality tool (like many other Bosch products).Versatile. In my experience this can extend the charge cycle by up to another 1/2 hour.Cons:o Somewhat wobbly handle. That's my main reason for a not giving the tool a 5 star rating.

It makes the rotozip into an aggressive disk sander, that removes wood very quickly. (The trick to accurate, straight cuts is to use a straightedge - this applies to all rotary tools).o sand wood.o rout wood. This is for rough work only. However, to be fair, it is no louder than my other plug-in routers spinning at 30,000 rpm.Other:I also have the sanding kit. If you've got a mountain of metal to cut, or wood to rout, I would probably use a plug-in tool. However, it is "good enough", especially considering all of the other good points about this tool.Batteries and charger are compatible with my other 18V Bosch bluecore tools (jigsaw, circular saw and planer).

I've used it too cut metal roof sheets (using zipmate)o cut other metal including nails, bolts, rebar.o cut holes in drywall. With this setup, I've been very pleased with the rotozip's performance as a cordless router. They charge very quickly (1/2 hour). The portability is well worth the trade off of a limited runtime in many cases.Highly recommended. However, I 've surprised myself with how often I reach for this tool first. This is a great tool.

It has ample power with smaller bits such as 1/4" round over, or a 1/2" dish cutter. This bothered me a lot when I first purchased the tool.

I did get it for a great price though as a manager at a store marked it down thinking it was a useless non-seller. Battery has a better than average charger that works with a my many other Bosch cordless tools. With the accessory "zip mate" and metal cutting wheel we cut the nails off quickly even in tight dark corners using eye protection of course. Spiral bits were good for triming some siding where a 'sawzall' would have likely damaged adjacent finish mat'l. This has been a little labor saver that comes in handy for odd jobs where a reciprocating saw would be too awkward. Under a floor that was being left while a new subfloor was reinstalled we had hundreds of nails to cut off. And the rotozip seems to go a long ways for a battery tool.

It does everything that he needs it to do and more. He loves it. We would recommend it to anyone. I purchased this for my husband. He has never owned a tool like this. It has made his life easier.
