Quadsaw

Ran across this today and, while I’m intrigued, I’m not entirely sure what it would be good for.

Apparently, these guys have come up with a drill based attachment that will saw outlet holes in drywall super fast.  The problem I see is, who would use this?  In new construction, the outlets are attached to the studs BEFORE the drywall goes up. No good there.  For existing construction, to retrofit an outlet or switch box, I guess it could be useful, but then again you’d need to know where the studs are so you wouldn’t end up misplacing the box and, more importantly, how often do you really find yourself retrofitting new outlet boxes into existing walls?   It’s hardly a high production sort of task.

So, while really cool, this just looks like a solution in search of a problem, but I figured I’d share here to see what the crew thinks.

Yea, this seems like a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. Also an OMT can do remod boxes just as easy, and isn’t a one use tool

It also costs 200 pounds!!! https://quadsaw.com/

I think someone was over thinking on this one………go put 1500 holes in that wall over there…oh I wish I had a quadsaw

Any chance it’s the same people who made this?

I think the op one moves each blade independently so they’re always cutting linearly whereas that one would be moving the blades at a 45 degree angle near the corners.  It might just not matter though.

Yeah, you really want to alienate your average user besides the hefty price tag? put a festool on it…. plus wheres the dust collection? if that’s a festool drill (or anything Festool for that matter) in the pic, i want dust collection with it!!!

tbh you could have made it more enticing if you used a cheap black and decker drill on it to show that you don’t need a huge amount of power or an expensive tool
