Measure and Score the Drywall

What happens here

With the utility knife securely attached to the tape measure, position the tape measure's hook at the edge of the drywall where you want to start the cut. Extend the tape measure along the desired cut line. Apply firm and consistent pressure on the utility knife while drawing it along the edge of the tape measure, scoring the drywall from top to bottom. The tape measure acts as a stable, straight guide, ensuring an accurate and clean score line.

Goal: Accurately score a straight line on the drywall for cutting.
