The best powered drywall saw is the Fein Multimaster.
The best hand drywall saw is Sharksaw Rockeater.

Irwin/Stanley. a pad saw is a pad saw unless its blunt it'll make a horrible job of the plaster

I use a stanley fatmax. Cuts plasterboard like a knife through butter. Pretty sure I only paid a tenner for it as well

padsaws are the reason dry lining boxes have a flange on them. to cover the diabolical rough edges after the saw has ragged the board.

So they're not there to stop it from falling back into the stud wall cavity then?

My boss has one and its better than the other pile of $%&* he`s got in the tote bag. I find it easy to pearce the board without it knocking a big chunk out the back......

Tel hasn't got any pals, he kept filling their toolboxes with expandy foam.
He now has to find other uses for the stuff.
