As an example, we do a lot of work with 9 foot ceilings - so we get oversized boards 54 x 10 or 54 x 12 deliverred to the jobsite. This reduces the number of joints.

If you don't own a drywall square you might as well get this one, I suppose, but longways cuts just aren't that hard using a tape in the manner described. Also, a drywal tool marked in sixteenths is a bit of overkill. If you are attempting to measure that accurately you can pretty much depend on your pieces being over size. I’ll second Blair’s comment.

Slide the whole tape horizontally. The only time we use squares is for vertical cuts, or layouts on tricky pieces. I wonder if the holes being spaced every 16th inch would be big enough to accept even the tip of the knife?
