Title: Need narrower drywall?
Product review: I am not a drywaller, but have hung a fair number of sheets for residential construction. I and some other amateurs were drafted to help in finishing the second floor of a new church building framed for a nominal eight-foot ceiling height, requiring the trimming of an inch off a long edge of a number of sheets of 5/8 inch thick fire-rated drywall.The long edges are thinner than the rest of the sheet, but there is an overlap of the surface paper, and fiber reinforcing in the fire-rated type, that makes it a little tougher. Alternatives are scoring both sides, and using a saw. Using this tool is faster, but still requires some manual persuasion to break off the strip. I would expect trimming half-inch or thinner non-rated would go faster.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
