The Wallboarder’s Buddy is an ergonomically designed, user-friendly scoring and
measuring machine for the drywall trade. It is capable of cutting a sheet of
wallboard to any length or width without the use of a measuring tape, utility
knife, drywall square, chalk line, straight edge or ripping tools. The tool’s
design consists of a pivoting cutter head that is slideably mounted on a
parallel square. Forcing the pivoting action of the cutter head outwardly
extends one of two opposing utility knife blades. When pressure is released the
cutter head returns to a centered position drawing the blade back inside the
body. The T square and its scale are based on the 2-foot increments that
drywall is manufactured in and the methodology boarder’s use to drywall a
house. A toolless blade change system has been incorporated into the cutter
head. It uses standard utility knife blades that can be purchased in any
hardware store. Blade storage is also obtained inside the cutter head body.
