A hinged system includes a preassembled hinge module for pivotally coupling a first component to a second component. The preassembled hinge module includes a shaft, a torque element frictionally engaging the shaft, and a housing. The housing includes a cover, a side wall, and a rear wall that define an interior space enclosed within the housing. The interior space receives the torque element inside the housing. The cover defines a first aperture, and the rear wall defines a second aperture, the first aperture and the second aperture aligned with a pivot axis of the shaft. The shaft extends through at least the first aperture, the interior space, and the second aperture. The shaft is separate from, and configured to be mounted to, the first component. The housing is separate from, and configured to be mounted to, the second component.

Cutting structure for scoring or cutting surfaces is disclosed. The cutting structure includes a housing having elongated sides, a blade and thumb positioning structure associated with the elongated sides. Measurement means may be positioned against the thumb positioning structure and may be held in place by the user's thumb thus providing a measured distance which may be cut. The invention further includes angled structure associated with the housing which provides a guiding surface when making angled or mitered cuts along the edge of drywall. The invention may also include a retractable measuring structure retained within the housing, a retractable blade, retaining means formed in the housing for housing spare blades and a notch for cutting rope and the like.
