Editorial Review:
The DeWalt 550 cuts effortlessly through not just drywall, its biggest customer, but a long list of other surfaces you might be clumsily using a jigsaw on: ceiling tiles, paneling, solid-surface and laminate countertops, plastic, cement backerboard and even light-gauge metal. It's light, it handles beautifully, is superbly balanced and is a heck of a lot easier to maneuver than a jigsaw or a hand-powered drywall saw. It plunges smoothly and doesn't fight you as your blade travels. At 26,000 rpm, it's got surprising power for a cordless, and because it comes with a one-hour charger and two batteries, you won't have any down time on a drywall job. Two collet sizes give you a whole range of flexibility, and the tool-free bit change is a breeze and takes only a couple of seconds. Just take off the depth guide, hold down the spindle lock and collet lock and turn the collet grip, and in goes your bit. It's a contractor must-have.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Fair tool... great deal (Batt's & Charger):

Shipped quicky (in stock) & priced same as "refurb" on other sites

great product horable customer service it took over 10 days just for product to sip and over 15 phone calls to amazon!!! this is the 4th item I have bought and absoutly the worst experience yet
Good for the Case and Batteries Only:
I purchased the DeWalt DC550KA about two years ago when I needed to make several circuit box cut-outs in drywall during a kitchen renovation. I was swayed by the initial positive reviews, the brand, its portability over the Rotozip, and that it complemented my other existing DeWalt 18V tools. My first use on a box cut-out was very disappointing. It had plenty of power and speed but quickly spent one battery before I could complete the entire cut. Other attempts yielded similar results with other... more info
