This is a great tool for working on bathroom tiling projects. I got this to use when my wife agreed for us to help with her mothers bathroom renovation. The tool is perfect for installing cement backerboard. It has two mesh cutting points, and a chisel point. The handle fits nicely in your hand and is very comfortable and secure feeling when being used. I’m glad to add this one to my tiling toolbox.

Worked well for cutting the backer board. Have used multiple methods for cutting in the past and this was the cleanest so far.

The scoring knife worked exactly as it should have

The pointed tips last long. The grip could be a bit more comfortable though. Much safer it seems, than using a razor knife!

For far to long I have been using a utility knife to score my cement board, but Its not easy, and the blades dual way to fast.Tried this for the first time, and will never look back. All one piece, and extremely tough. Each tip is welded and made of heavy duty steel.It scores the board perfectly every time, and allows for quick cutting every time. I also love the chisel and hammer stile that they put on this as it makes the tool very versatile. I will never use a blade again now that I have this tool, and I highly recommend!

Cement backerboard is a complete pain. It’s not flexible, and it’s terrible on a saw blade. I love this little knofe…it lets me cut cement board just like drywall, and just as easy. Score it with a straight edge, snap it and done! Time saver for sure! Highly recommended!

I was skeptical but I went ahead and bought it and now I’m a fan. No dust from cutting with a saw and it scores pretty deep with the right amount of pressure.

I have not had a tool made just for cutting backerboard before . I always just used a regular knife to scor and made due. I found this and gave it a try and it really is magic this easily cuts the time in half and will be a permanent tool in my line up. The only thing it needed was to hit the handle corners with a file just a little sharp if you’re not wearing gloves.

Yes, good.

This is a must have if you are doing a tile project. It will save a lot of time. I use to use a regular knife, but it was slow and went dull fast. With this tool you can just score and break. The fiber hooks cut right trough the fibers great. Its light and easy to use. I recommend…

Great product for making jobs easier

It used it on 1/2” backerboard and it worked great.
Ova Swift (verified owner) –
This is a tool I should have bought long, long ago! What a pleasure to use, and so much easier than a utility knife. Makes a very nice straight even score which snaps like a breeze. I can’t tell you how many utility knife blades I have ruined and made lousy cuts with them that did not snap cleanly. No more of that, now that I have this backerboard scoring knife I can look forward to clean crisp lines.

This blade scores the James Hardie backerboard OK. I don’t know about others, but I find it very hard to break the cement board even after spending quite some energy scoring the board both side using this tool. I ended up using the handheld tool with carbide blade.
