I have to remove a shower stall (modern type) and what would be the best tool to cut it up to remove it? It cracked. Thank You Stan

The cheap black harbor freight blades worked for me. I break a couple inches off of them so they don't poke through the other side of the wall.

Yep. Break the blade off short. I use a fine pitch blade.

Breaking the blade short is a good suggestion.

Expect lots of sharp fiberglass splinters.

I have a 3-1/2" plunge circular saw.  I probably would set the depth to about 1/4" or 1/2" and use that.  It is light and easy to handle.  I got it for cutting the 1/4" ply soffits for venting.

Wear a decent dust mask.


RE: Shower stall - Cooler - 07-07-2017

A dust mask and goggles.  If it is fiberglass the dust is a very bad irritant.  

If it is rotationally molded it won't be so bad.

You could have someone hold the shop vac hose up to the cut or duct tape it to the reciprocating saw to catch dust. A hassle at the time, but makes a lot of difference afterwords- unless you forget to turn the shop vac on.
