Rotozip rolls out drywall router

Rotozip has introduced the DR1 drywall router. Smaller, faster and more durable than a older generation of drywall routers, the DR1's improved ergonomics and amplified power aims to increase job-site efficiencies and performance.

Created for drywallers by drywallers (who were involved in every step of the product development process), the DR1 weighs in at 2.8 pounds and measures 7.5 inches in length, and it features a smaller grip diameter than competitors. At 33,000 rpm, the DR1 claims to be the fastest spinning drywall tool on the market, and its 6 amps of power deliver up to 45 percent higher speeds under load than some models.

The tool also features a handy on-tool wrench storage compartment, replaceable motor brushes, vents designed to keep dust away from the eyes, revamped XBits capable of cutting more than 2,000 feet of drywall, and a redesigned depth guide that allows for maximum visibility.
