Cutting cement sheets

[Essex]

I was after a set of hand shears for cutting cement sheets as in the attached pic.  Does anybody know who sells these?  I show the pic at Global etc and get a 'no have'.

Never seen here, the scoring knife works well and probably be cheaper.

What thickness of cement board  are you cutting?

[Essex]

3 to 4 mm.  From experience, scoring tool is not that effective for very long cuts and not good at all for cutting square cuts

Please wear a mask when cutting them.  If you breathe in that dust you are setting yourself up for problems down the line.

If using and type of saw you may wet the area being cut. This will elliminate any dust.

I have one of these, a blue one. I brought it over from Australia, was my fathers originally.

Cant even remember how many pairs of scissors I went thru trying to cut cement  ????

Found them on alibaba, min buy lot is 100. I think I will import them and sell on Lazada....whoops, wife will sell on Lazada.  Issan Aussie will know from experience, faster, can cut corners easily, no power cords or drained batteries and no dust.  Dead easy to use and makes accurate cuts.

I agree they are easy to use, at least for me (my Dad was a good teacher). I have tried to teach several locals here but few are able to produce consistent results. Slow, steady and careful are concepts not normal for most here it seems, perhaps it is just me...
