Does anyone know the name and brand of the power tool that serves both as drill and jig saw?

Question

I saw a commercial for a new tool that can be used as either a drill or a jig saw and didnt catch the brand name or the name of the tool. I went to Sears and they had no idea what I was talking about. I looked on Black and Deckers website and couldnt find it there so I dont think that was them. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Technically it`s called a rotary saw. The commercial you saw was probably for roto-zip. If used correctly they`re a great tool, although they`re a bit light for commercial use. Lowes carries the Dewalt version. It`s less expensive and is a snap to change the bit.

Answer 2

Well there is also Rigid, they were know in the past for plumbing tools, but have come out with a very good power tool set, Dewalt it generally the contractors tool of choice though, and belive it or not Dewalt, Kwikset(door locks), and Black and Decker??? All the same company. So if you dont know Dewalt you at least have to know B&D.

Answer 3

Dremel makes an attachment to go with their tool... it comes with drywall cutting bits... http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=56055-353-565&lpage=none

RotoZip is another product made for what you have described, and comes with many optional attachments... http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productCompare&lpage=none&referurl=productList%26No%3D24%26Ntt%3Droto+zip%26Ntk%3Di_products

and of course there is always ebay, hehehe... just do a search for Roto Tool.... you will come up with a lot of optional bits, RotoZip tools, and other brands.

Have Fun
