 "It Does What It Says" October 3, 2008
R. Clark (Auburn, WA.)
I'm one of the few remaining "old school" setters that likes to use cement board in leu of polyiso or Ditra. Especially for shower enclosure wall and ceiling applications. It has always been a major pain to cut to size 1/2" Hardibacker, but these shears definately take the sting out of the task. They really do work!! I gave them a 4 star only because they don't make tight radius cuts so well. You can do it if you work very slow and controlled but they chew up the edge of the board pretty bad. Overall though they are a great addition to my grip.
Great tool for the job August 21, 2008
S. Rothwell (Tri-Cities, WA)
The Turbo Shear attaches quickly and easily and does a very good job at cutting fiber cement siding. I've seen some other reviews stating that they cut 1/2", I do not think this tool is intended to cut that thick of board.
The main draw back as stated by others is that you cannot cut a very sharp arch. Also this tool does create SOME dust, but it is very slight and falls to the ground - not into a dust storm as with a saw. The other slight con is that it can tear the corner on the exit of a cut. But this also has to do with the way the board is held while cutting. If you are cutting solo expect to have something to firmly secure the end you are cutting off. Fiber Cement planks are heavy and quite flimsy when laying flat. Another tip is cut with the back of the board facing up, comes out cleaner.

Carl E. Anderson
It is a fantastic cutter. I love it, does what it is supposed to do and that is cut Hardi with no dust.
perfect tool July 1, 2008
James T. Mccallick
If you are cutting hardi siding this a great tool. Cuts fast and there is no dust. The only drawback is it won't cut tight arcs or circles
 Not good for Nichiha siding June 14, 2008
skywatcher (San Carlos, CA)
I couldn't get a clean cut in 1/2" Nichiha siding - the back side was mashed to a pulp. Returning the tool.
