Review: Waste of money. Not fit for purpose. - 0 stars. Bought 2 as have 50 sheets of 12mm cement board to cut and both have sheared and broke after 1 hour. Don't waste your money.
Review: Not robust enough for the price - Worked well while it worked, however the cutting blade sheered off after about an hours use. The blade is not made from sufficiently strong material to last and the manufacturer does not sell replacement parts. Overall not worth purchasing unless you are only doing small and occasional tasks.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cut 1/2 cementboard?**
A: It cuts hardie backer board better than cement board because cement board is more of a cemented material with thread inserted.

**Q: Can i use this on a 20v drill?**
A: yes you can i use mine with a a ridgid 18 volt drill just make sure it is a drill and not a impact driver

**Q: Can this be used to cut 5/16" cement board siding (cemplank), as opposed to backer board?**
A: Absolutely.  In fact, I didn't know it would cut backer board.  I built a shed with 5/16" hardiboard siding all the way around, and it was one of the life savers of the project.

**Q: I want to add trim around windows, can this be used on already installed cement fiber board?**
A: No, the cutting mechanism on the tool needs at least 1” space behind the board in order to travel freely up and down while it cuts

### ⭐ Waste of money. Not fit for purpose.
*by V***A on 18 March 2025*

0 stars. Bought 2 as have 50 sheets of 12mm cement board to cut and both have sheared and broke after 1 hour. Don't waste your money.

### ⭐⭐ Not robust enough for the price
*by A***R on 11 June 2025*

Worked well while it worked, however the cutting blade sheered off after about an hours use. The blade is not made from sufficiently strong material to last and the manufacturer does not sell replacement parts. Overall not worth purchasing unless you are only doing small and occasional tasks.

### ⭐⭐ UK plug needed
*by F***1 on 15 February 2023*

Great tool but nowhere does it state its a two pin plug you receive so if you were expecting to use it straight away using a 3 pin 240v appliance plug you would be very disappointed. Of little use in the UK originates from the USA.
