Makes a horrible noise while going over the walls, but other than that, does fairly well to aid in wallpaper removal.

I bought this tool in '02, I had several paint contracts that year. A 5000sq ft office building with paper borders, wallpaper in restrooms and kitchen, paper from chair rail down in customer service areas, had to be painted. I admit, I kind of panicked. The salesman at my paint supplier recommended this gadget. It worked out great! A garden sprayer,wallpaper stripping solution,my Paper Tiger and a 6" drywall taping knife(about 10 garbage bags)took me about 6-7 hours to strip it all off, cleaning up the mess as I go. If not for the little Paper Tiger I might still be peeling the face off, then spraying the underlying paper backing and rolling that off a precious little at a time. Great time saver, never once penetrated the paper covering on the drywall beneath.

My wife and I had some wallpaper and some border to strip so that we could repaint a bedroom and bath. In combination with a spray-on gel stripper, I used this scoring tool to help with the job. I found that it does a great job of easily scoring the paper and the resulting holes do allow the stripper gel to penetrate better. If I had anything negative to say it is that in a lot of cases this is unnecessary. By doing side by side tests, I was able to get as good of results by spraying the stripper onto un-scored border as I did when using the "paper tiger." In fact, at times the scored paper was more work to remove because it tore into smaller pieces during removal.
I think this tool will be great for removing heavy/commercial wallpaper or wallpaper that has been painted over, but I also think that it is overkill for an awful lot of home use situations...
