Review: Great tool for Fiber cement siding - I was a bit leery at first, not sure it would work properly on a 18v plus drill. Boy was I wrong. This tool is a must have for Fiber cement siding. It is quiet, smooth, and quick. No Dust, and no flying particles. I was amazed at the tools performance. It cuts curves perfectly, as long as you can keep a straight line, and it makes cutting the boards a breeze. I cannot say enough great things about this tool. This was our first attempt at installing fiber cement siding on our new house, and the tool help take a bit of the stress away. I love it. The dual sided handle makes it great for stability.
Review: Great Tool… - I have come across hundreds of tools in my 28 years as a residential contractor. Some tools serve their purpose better than others. Some tools disappoint you while others go above and beyond their functions making a hard job turn into a pleasant surprise. The Snapper Shear Pro surprised me. I was hesitant at first. But, after attaching it and sticking the first cut I realized that you can’t go wrong with this easy to use tool. Does works as described. Straight cuts every time, fancy shapes cuts. Just amazing, I was able to cut hundreds of fiber cement boards and the tool is still going strong. Easy to attach to most drills…. Look at pictures showing the Snapper Shear Pro attached to a 18v Bosch Cordless Drill.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ after searching for a better way to cut backer board
*by M***T on October 19, 2015*

I bought this tool after starting a bathroom remodeling project in which I removed old sheetrock and tile and installed concrete backer board. Man oh man I really wish I would have known about this tool before I started cutting my Hardie Backer...I started off using the score and snap method to break my Hardie Backer board, but as one other reviewer said the score and snap method is only for bigger pieces of board; once you start having to measure and cut smaller pieces of concrete board then scoring and snapping just doesn't work unless you possess the strength of three Lou Ferrignos. Further, scoring and snapping leaves sort of a rough, jagged edge that doesn't lend itself well to clean corners. So, after searching for a better way to cut backer board, I bought the SS424. This tool absolutely makes easy work of cutting backer board; I used it to cut half-inch thick board and it worked beautifully. As others have said, it does take practice to learn how to cut along a straight line, but once you get good with it you will never want to use anything else. Some people will say to use a table saw with a special concrete fiber cutting blade, but that way of cutting board creates SO much dust; the SS424 creates almost no dust thus lowering your silica exposure risk. Also, once again as others have said, a little backer board will curl up between the cutting blades and this can get in the way of following your cutting line, but after a few cuts you sort of learn to deal with it. If you have tried scoring and snapping do yourself a favor and buy this tool. I'm pretty sure that if they made backer board back in the 14th century then Dante would have listed scoring and snapping this stuff all day as the tenth circle of Hell. I like this tool so much that I considered buying a second one just so I can sleep next to it at night. Thanks, I hope this review helped someone.
