Generally speaking, a sawsall is used for deconstruction. The will cut through just about anything quickly. They are not designed to cut accurately. Although, an experienced operator (not me) can do pretty good with one. I borrowed one to cut out an old door in order to install a pocket door. I only needed the saw for about 5 minutes of actual work. It cut through metal strapping, screws, mails with out even slowing down. The wall board and studs were nothing.
