Years ago I rented a tool for scoring wallpaper, to assist when stripping it.
It was a T shaped tool with a handle about 40cm long and 2 (not quote coaxial) spiked rollers, each about 10cm long, and so positioned as to tear the paper. It worked very well, and in fact so well that I am inclined to buy one.
Problem is I have no idea what it's called, and as such cannot find one in any online shop!
Any ideas what they're called?

This looks interesting.
Others already answered, but I'll just add another comment. Always try removing paper first without scoring it. Run over it with a steam stripper to wet it, and leave it for an hour or more so the moisture soaks through. Then run over it again, and the stripper will cause the moisture which soaked through to boil and blow the paper off the wall. This is much easier if you haven't scored it -- you can just pull whole sheets off in one piece. If scored, it's much more fiddly.
That is exactly the ticket, and as I recall it.
Still can't find a shop selling them though. The closest I can find is an "Earlex Perforator" which only has a single roller.
I'll keep looking.
