This tool works just fine. Keep it level as you draw back and it will score perfectly. Works for 3/8 - 5/8 drywall.

We have not used this tool a whole lot YET but plan too. I have used it to cut 4-1/2" strips of drywall to close in a doorway. The tool worked amazingly well. I set the cutting depth of the wheels, set the width of for the strips and pulled the tool down the length of drywall. With a quick snap of the drywall the 4-1/2" strip came off clean, clean enough I did not have to dress the sides before attachment.
The real reason I purchase this tool was to make faux trim for the house we are building. I want to custom build the wood trim for the house but we are running out of time with the bank. I plan on cutting drywall into uniform strip and tacking them onto the walls/doors/windows and painting like normal trim. Save money and will look nice until I get the wood trim cut and fitted.

Good Tool for making those long narrow drywall strips. Scores both sides of the drywall at the same time. Works great and easy to adjust the width of your cut.

5.) Need narrower drywall?

I am not a drywaller, but have hung a fair number of sheets for residential construction. I and some other amateurs were drafted to help in finishing the second floor of a new church building framed for a nominal eight-foot ceiling height, requiring the trimming of an inch off a long edge of a number of sheets of 5/8 inch thick fire-rated drywall.

The long edges are thinner than the rest of the sheet, but there is an overlap of the surface paper, and fiber reinforcing in the fire-rated type, that makes it a little tougher. Alternatives are scoring both sides, and using a saw. Using this tool is faster, but still requires some manual persuasion to break off the strip. I would expect trimming half-inch or thinner non-rated would go faster.

Good idea and I got limited sucess out of it. It was hard to adjust and too a little getting use to. If you are going to buy this then buy one for each thhickness sheetrock you will use, that will make it worth it.

Good tool, a little cumbersome to adjust, but once done you can repeat the cuts easily. Great for those pieces around a window installation and to just trim off a sheet to length.

8.) Maybe Chinese Drywall is Easier to Cut

I've cut narrow strips no problem. No problem, except I have to measure with a tape everytime I change size because the built in rule cuts narrow. I have found anything bigger than 3 inch doesn't cut all the way through. I'm cutting 1/2 inch and have the wheels set all the way in. The u shaped piece of metal bends and I have to use a razor. It makes a nice straight line to cut along though. I guess I should have paid 3 times as much for the American stripper.
