A Drywall Saw Designed for Professionals: Simply45™ S45-850
If you’ve spent any time cutting drywall in the field, you’ve probably experienced the same frustrations: exposed blades tearing up your tool bag, cheap saws flexing mid cut, or handles that get slick the moment dust builds up. These issues signal that you are not using a saw designed for professionals focused on professional grade work, every day.
The Simply45™ Drywall Saw with Folding Blade (S45-850) was designed by professionals for professionals. Every professional knows that using the right tool for a specific job not only saves you time – it saves you money. The S45-810 is a drywall saw built for installers, electricians, and remodelers who value control, safety, and durability.
What Stands Out After First Use
The first thing you notice with the S45-850 is that it feels solid. The blade doesn’t flex under pressure, and the handle has enough grip to stay secure even when your hands are grimy and dusty. Safety is always paramount when using a high-carbon steel blade featuring triple-ground teeth to cut cleanly in both directions. As @blaketally reviewed after using, “This saw requires less force to follow your pencil line, especially when making outlet cutouts or access openings. The sharp tip makes it easy to punch through drywall without drilling a pilot hole, reducing the need to carry expensive screw guns on the jobsite.”
Folding Blade is a Safer, Smarter Carry
One of the most practical features of the S45-850 is its folding blade design. When folded, the blade fits fully inside the handle, protecting both the teeth and everything else in your tool pouch. You no longer need to worry about slicing your hand when reaching into your bag or dulling the blade against other tools. It’s a simple feature, but one that our Product Management team developed after years of integrator feedback at trade shows.
The blade locks securely in two positions—180° and 125°, giving you flexibility depending on the angle of the cut. The locking mechanism is firm, which is critical for accuracy and safety.
Comfort Matters on Big Projects
Drywall work often involves repetitive cutting, and poor ergonomics can cause painful joint and muscle issues after long days. The S45-850 uses a rubberized, non-slip handle that is shaped to sit naturally in the hand. Over extended use, this reduces fatigue and improves control, especially when making precision cuts. The handle stays comfortable without feeling bulky, and it provides confidence when you’re working overhead or in tight spaces.
More Versatility Than Traditional Drywall Saws
Although it’s optimized for drywall, the Simply45 S45-850 handles more than just gypsum. In practice, it works well for:
- Drywall
- Thin Plywood
- PVC
- Paneling
- Pruning tree limbs
That versatility makes it a useful all-around cutting tool to keep in your bag, rather than something used occasionally. The S45-850 excels at precision, portability, and control, which is exactly what professionals demand.
Compact Without Feeling Fragile
When folded, the saw measures just 6 inches, extending to 11 inches when fully open. It’s compact enough to carry easily in your back pocket, yet substantial enough to confidently tackle any job. The blade is rust-resistant and built to hold its edge, rigorously tested in the field by our brand ambassadors like @quicktechav.
Simply Brands backs the saw with a Lifetime Warranty, which is unheard of for any tool in the industry with a cutting blade.
The Simply45™ S45-850 is a strong fit for:
- Low-voltage and structured cabling installers
- Electricians cutting outlet and access openings
- Remodelers and maintenance professionals
- DIY users who want a safer, fold-away drywall saw
Simply45™ is not reinventing a Drywall Saw—we are improving the features that matter most on the jobsite. For trade professionals who care about performance and durability, the S45-850 is a smart, must-have upgrade over standard drywall saws.
