STANLEY Hand Saw, Jab Saw, Cushion Grip, 6-Inch (15-556)

I got this saw after finishing up a wall project and thinking it would be handy to have one. Wouldn't you know it- 2 days after it arrived, I had a shower valve fail and I had to cut an access hole into the drywall behind it to replace it. This saw worked great! It jabbed into the drywall easily and cut even easier. The blade was plenty stiff enough and the handle comfortable. It was easy to cut straight lines and easy to cut curves. It even cut through a bracing stud without too much trouble. The only thing that stopped it was a nail. A hacksaw blade was needed for getting through that.Conclusion: Excellent saw. I definitely recommend it.

Many drywall saws are too flimsy to do much with, but this Stanley jab saw works great. The handle is large and the blade is sturdy enough that you can confidently punch through drywall without worrying about the blade flexing. Plus the blade is sharp enough to make fast, accurate cuts that leave a relatively clean edge and don't wander offline. It's nothing fancy, just a simple, well-made tool that performs when you need it.

This saw made quick work of my drywall. I had to cut a few holes in my wall to add wall plates, and this made it super easy. Each hole only took about a minute to cut, and it would've been faster if I wasn't cutting in confined areas. I just put the saw up to the wall, pushed, and it went right through. Sawing was incredibly easy and took almost no force.This was far preferable to my previous methods; I've used my dremel to cut through drywall (super messy and no faster), I've used my chisel (not very clean cuts, and takes forever) and I've used a skillsaw (also super messy and risked cutting through studs). No idea why it took me this long, but I figured for 6 bucks I'd just get the correct tool, and I'm glad I did.

Hard to start a hole when cutting plaster, luckily I was starting from an existing hole. But when I tried to start at another corner, it was near impossible to start a hole. Cuts through plaster easily though, so I imagine cutting through Sheetrock or wall board would be like cutting butter.The handle I very comfortable!! Very sharp too. Good quality metal. Now to make a sheath to store it in.

I bought this to cut through drywall. The saw works great. It sliced through the drywall like a hot knife through ice cream--drywall flavored ice cream that is. The tip is nice and sharp too so starting the hole is a breeze. The rubber Kung Foo grip makes it easy to hold onto while your sawing and big enough to use two hands so you accidentally slice your arm off.

This is a pretty normal drywall saw. Works perfect, able to punch through and saw the dry wall easily. Why spend more when this seems to do the trick just fine, and feels like it will last a very long time.

I have used a 6" hole saw in the past to installed recessed lighting, but that method is extremely messy and requires a lot of prep. Using the manual hole saw was completely different! There was almost zero cleanup and very little drywall dust, the blade cuts through drywall with minimal effort and made perfect cuts every time. I'll be using this from now on.

Fantastic grip, sharp, and glided through drywall with ease. I replaced another brand new one I picked up at a home store that had the blade already wiggling in the handle after a few sheets. This one is sturdy.
