I have a RotoZip, but have not used it a lot. (You can use it with a circle cutter attachment to cut circular holes for woofers.) I used mine when I built a TV stand with two shelves beneath for stereo equipment. After I had it set up, I realized that I needed more new, bigger holes to run wires. It is easy to start a cut and proceed in a fairly tight place. It is somewhat difficult to control and sends sawdust all over. I think it is a luxury for a homeowner, but a really neat tool for a tradesman that has to cut holes in walls, because it is easier to use than a saber saw, but harder to control. Most holes are covered by some sort of faceplate, so perfection is not necessary. It is pretty easy to break the bits if you are not careful.
