Questions about this tool

Will the XL fit the same narrow space?

Compare the width and thickness as well as the length. The smaller version gives you a slimmer body to turn beside a board.

Does it come with a scoring board?

The listing is for the handheld folder. Use your own layout or folding surface.

Can it also flatten the fold?

Use the smooth edge after establishing the crease and check the result on a spare piece first.
