Cuts perfectly round, clean holes for speaker installation.
Installed a full JL Audio system on a Mako 18LTS. 2x 6.5″, 2x 10″ subs & 2x wakeboard 7.7″ cans. This tool made it so easy to install.

Excellent product for cutting holes.
I have used this numerous times it does a perfect job. Between jobs I clean it with plain water and dry for next use. It keeps it like brand new. Excellent product.

Ordered 7/13/2017 – used for acrylic – awesome – easy to use, stable 90-degree angle with shield, clean circular 10″ (-ish) hole… and now having sold the X-305 a few years ago (which was a mistake), I am now replacing it with the X-425 for those extra 5-inches when needed.

I bought this as a gift to my son who built a new home and had lots of holes to put into sheetrock. He has thanked me over and over for how great this is. Easy and extremely accurate, this saw will be well within1/10 of an inch of the desired diameter in drywall all day long. Great tool

This is so much quicker, easier, cleaner, and safer than using a jigsaw! I installed six recessed lights in under 30 minutes. I plan on installing about 40 more in my home using this tool.
I have used bargain versions of this concept but they always ended up doing damage and catching the material – causing the tool to quickly and dangerously walk away from the hole.
I see this tool outliving every house I renovate, especially since the hard-shell case keeps it safe when not in use.

I was on the fence about this tool, but oh my God, this tool is amazing! It is built incredibly well! Its a rock solid piece of equipment! I had to cut 30 ten inch holes in the lids of heavy duty totes. I flew through them in record time, amazed the whole time at this tool! I have bought a lot of tools over the years, I can’t remember ever being happier with a tool! At 1st I thought I paid too much, now that I’ve used it I think they didn’t charge enough! I don’t think anybody would ever have any regrets with this tool.

This is the best tool for cutting speaker holes. I cut a lot of holes for mounting speakers in custom cabinets I build. I cut a wide variety of materials like MDF, pine, maple, cherry, and a few exotics like bubinga and padauk. I very rarely need to cut drywall, but when I do, this adjustable cutter is what I use.
——-
To sum it up, if you cut a lot of medium to large-sized holes, buy this tool. It’s honestly no exaggeration when I say this cutter should really be seen as a crazy good bargain for the time and effort it will save you over its lifetime.
