Stanley 15-556 6 in. 6 TPI Jab Saw
The Stanley 15-556 Jab Saw is a compact 6 in. saw built for cutting openings in drywall and similar materials. Its sharp tip lets you plunge straight into the panel without drilling a starter hole, and the 6 TPI anti-clog teeth clear material as you cut. The hardened, tempered blade holds its edge, and the cushioned curved handle gives a comfortable grip for push and pull strokes when cutting openings for electrical boxes, pipes and fixtures. Because the saw is only 6 in. long, it fits easily in a tool pouch and works well in tight spots between studs, above ceilings and inside cabinets where a larger saw would be awkward to handle.

Stanley 15-556 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Stanley 15-556 jab saw start a cut in drywall without drilling a pilot hole?
Yes. The 15-556 has a sharpened tip made to plunge straight through the gypsum panel, so you can punch in and start cutting an outlet or fixture opening with no starter hole drilled first. That is the main reason electricians and drywall crews carry one on rough-in and trim-out.
2) What does 6 TPI mean on a jab saw, and is it the right tooth count for gypsum board?
6 TPI is six teeth per inch, a coarse pitch. On the Stanley 15-556 those teeth are described as anti-clog, meaning the gullets are large enough to carry gypsum dust out of the kerf instead of packing it. Coarse pitch cuts drywall fast, at the cost of a rougher edge than a fine-tooth blade would leave, which is fine for a cutout that gets covered by a plate or trim ring.
3) Will a 6 inch jab saw work in tight spots like between studs or inside a cabinet?
That is what the short blade is for. The 15-556 blade is 6 in. long, short enough to swing between studs, above a ceiling grid, or inside a cabinet where a full drywall saw or a handsaw has nowhere to travel. It also drops into a tool pouch rather than a bag.
4) Is the Stanley 15-556 jab saw blade replaceable or is it a fixed-blade saw?
The 15-556 is a fixed-blade jab saw. The 6 in. blade is hardened and tempered to hold its edge, and the saw ships as one piece with a cushioned curved handle. There is no blade-change mechanism and no separate blade to order.
5) What jobs is a jab saw the right tool for, and when should I reach for something else?
A jab saw like the 15-556 is for small, controlled openings in drywall: outlet and switch box cutouts, recessed can lights, pipe and duct penetrations, and patch work during remodels. It cuts on push and pull strokes with hand control, which is what you want when you are cutting blind over wire or pipe in a finished wall. For long straight rips across a full sheet on the floor, a utility knife and snap is faster and leaves a cleaner edge.
6) What is the exact part number to order for the Stanley 6 in. jab saw?
Order Stanley 15-556. That is the manufacturer part number for the 6 in., 6 TPI jab saw, and it is a single configuration, no handing, length, or finish choice to specify.
7) Is this jab saw suitable for standardizing across an electrical or maintenance crew?
It is a common pouch tool for that purpose. The 15-556 is a single SKU with no options to sort out, and it covers the cutting most electricians and maintenance techs do in gypsum board: box openings, fixture holes, and patch cuts. Buying the same model across a crew keeps the tooth pitch and feel consistent, so cutouts come out the same size from every tech.
