    • Does the job, minimum dust.
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
Works well, clean cuts.

    • Smooth cut and well worth the cost
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
These work great. I used them on .42” Hardie Backer board and I’m very satisfied. No dust and very smooth and straight cut. So much better than using a masonry saw blade. Only thing but not a big issue is the cord tends to get into the cut behind you so not dangerous. Just have to take notice and move it out of the way. Leaves curly cut material (like curly fries) waste easy to sweep away. Great tool and well worth the cost. Even on small projects. ... show more

    • Best tool purchase EVER for working with cement board!
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
I have just finished putting up the final pieces of cement board on a master bath remodel. Of all the tools I have bought for this endeavor, this has to be number one, I used mitre saws, jig saws, wallboard saws, utility knives (not even close) and nothing compared to this one tool. Little to no dust, cuts through like butter. You can cut a 5 ft cement board in about 45 seconds. You can flip the blades if they get dull, but I never got to that point with this remodel. This bath is about 11 ft x 17 ft and about 12 ft high. I was hesitant at first spending over $160 on a tool I might only use once, but after having used it, I would pay a lot more. All of my cutting with this tool was done in the bathroom I was working on. As you can see by the picture, the base plate rides along the cement board and the shear is under the board. I built a cutting platform using 2x4s in a hashtag form with the top two pieces on the long axis. Then either placed a large sheet on top to cut alongside one of the top 2x4s or clamped a smaller piece to a 2x4 to hold it in place while I cut along the edge. It worked extremely well. If you are cutting more than a couple of boards this is well worth the price. ... show more

    • Great for Hardie Backer
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
I purchased these shears to cut Hardie backer board for three rooms (19 sheets). I cut mostly 1/4 inch and although it didn't recommend it I did cut some 1/2 inch (.42). The 1/4 inch cut like a hot knife through warm butter only slower. Lines are easy to follow in either direction except for the curl that comes around every eight inches or so. You can travel fast or slow as the trigger is variable speed. The tool is fairly heavy although most all the weight rest on the material while using. As long as you keep the tool resting flat on the cement board and cut fairly straight it cuts very smooth and produces very clean edge with almost no dust. It is only as noisy as a 1/2 drill and very easy on your body. Slam dunk for 1/4 material and although it will cut the 1/2 it is much slower and they do make one for the thicker material. For round holes and lines not straight buy a Bosch jigsaw blade ($10) for cement board and an oscillating jigsaw (harbor freight $30 before 20% off). After cutting 19 sheets of varying thickness cement board the shears show almost no sign of wear and preform as when new. If your body is beat up, older or you just don't like a noisy room full of cement board dust these shears are worth every penny. They made the hardest part of the project so much easier. Highly Recommend these shears! ... show more

    • Best money spent for saving me time and money
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
This tool while not the most expensive does the job with no issues, cuts accurately and quickly. Provides virtually a dust free environment. It cuts cleanly on both unfinished and finished cement siding, It has its limitations as far as curves and inside corners, but there are manufacturers who provide carbide tipped jig saw blades for this issue. Otherwise a great product has saved us time, money and limited the waste on siding projects, still going strong after 40 plus squares of siding. I have seen many reviews from people complaining about the accuracy, rough cuts and limitations of the tool. Ridiculous, it is a specialized tool meant for a specific task and it performs admirably and is relatively inexpensive and well made. I would say of you do not do many cement siding projects , but do a few every year then this tool will save you time , effort and allow a safe and quality siding job if you know its limitations and allow for them. ... show more

    • A piece of cake!
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
After struggling with overpriced blades that kept binding up, I ordered this tool. I found it to be super easy to use. Other reviewers mention some binding or chattering. I had that too, then noticed the cord had sunk into my cut and was skewing the tension. No cord in the cut, no problem. Another person complained he couldn't see his cut line. If you guide the the cut curl back towards the tool, you can see fine. Another plus is that you can stop in the middle of the cut, then continue whenever you are ready. Did I mention the lack of dust? Not being covered in clouds of silica dust was amazing. Even though this tool is a one-trick pony, it was well worth the price for what it saved me in time, stress, and effort. I highly recommend this tool for making long cuts on 8x4 panels. ... show more

    • Put the blades on the correct side of your mark to cut
Style: Siding Shear / 4.8 Amp. Pattern Name: Cutter
My husband and I replaced our worn siding on one side of our house with Hardi plank siding. We have never installed hardi siding before but did a great job. We still wore dust masks while cutting with the shears and also had to cut the thicker trim boards with a circular saw which puts out much more dust than the shears. That is the main reason we chose shears for health benefit but it was awesome for cutting the siding. You just have to make sure you have the correct edge of the shears on the line you r cutting. The thing we were most worried about before doing the job was our health by not breathing silica dust. It worked great but we still used a mask as there is still some dust. Love this tool. Our job took about 3 weeks to complete and they were still working fine. As soon as we get time we will be replacing siding on the other 3 sides of our home. Hopefully they make it through the whole project. But so far so good ... show more
