OK here I am the Debbie Downer reviewer since all the other reviews are so positive. What I have found is that this works as advertised, but it’s not necessarily easier overall, or a true replacemet, than simply using a utility knife with a proper drywall T-square. Good on 1/4 or 1/2 drywall, not so great on thicker fire resistant stuff. I have had the two halves snap together a couple of times on me (see other reviewers comments) and it’s VERY HARD resetting them; and each time the blades get damaged. Also the blades are harder to find and pricier than standard utility baldes. All you really need is a deep score on the drywall face with a utility knife and you have no trouble separating the pieces. The good thing about this is that it cuts on both sides saving you the trouble of having to cut the brown backing paper. This could be handy for curved cuts or very long ones where you don’t have a very long straight edge. For holes a jigaw works fine. So my review is based on the price vs. the utility gained. I am not sure it’s worth it.

I love this tool!

It took several tries to get the hang of it, but once mastered, it works great.

I wish the manufacturer had made one (or both) of the sides square so that you could clamp a board to the sheetrock and then “ride the board” for perfectly straight cuts. Usually cuts don’t have to be perfect, but on the rare occasion that one does, you have to draw a line and then follow the line carefully.

That is the only reason I didn’t give it a 5.
