Paracut Tool for Cutting Drywall & "Hanger" Manufactured Lap Siding Installation Tool:

The Paracut Tool for Cutting Drywall a hand tool especially designed for making parallel cuts on drywall (sheetrock) or foamboard while attached to any type of T-square. The Paracut Tool can be used by right- or left-handed persons to make cuts made parallel to the edge of the material in use.

It is an extremely easy and accurate way to make horizontal cuts up to 24" wide. As drywall (sheetrock) is only 48" wide, wider cuts are not necessary.

The Paracut Tool is designed to be slipped onto the blade of any T-square. The user then adjusts the Paracut Tool to the width of the desired cut to be made, tightening the knob to hold it in place. The T-square is then placed with the top of the T at the top edge of the material to be cut, held by the left hand, at the right comer. Starting right to left, holding left hand on the top of the T and the right hand on the Paracut Tool, draw the Paracut Tool across the drywall or foamboard. The drywall is then broken back and backcut, yielding a perfect, accurate cut and a straight edge is ready for the next cut. Left-handed persons simply slip The Paracut Tool on the blade in the reverse direction or can change the direction of the utility blade in The Paracut Tool itself.
