    For cutting out your outlet boxes start in the middle of the box move to the outer edge and hopp over the edge of the box then go counter clockwise the bit rotation will pull itself to the box. Takes a few times to get it but works like a charm.

    • @private15
      @private15 2 года назад

      I wonder if since the direction of spin affects the cut if maybe left handed people might have to work harder to get clean cuts. Most tools are designed for righties and than lefties have to learn a work around.

    Because this is maybe your first time with drywall, I suggest you do all your walls, even the one's you plan to do something different on. You might love the other thing your going to do with that section of the wall but if you don't you won't have to head out to the store for more sheetrock to cover up the opps. And it'll give you a good base to build on and one to recover on as well.
