Game changer.

This thing is a game changer. Do a traditional first coat and light sand. For the next coat mix the mud thin and roll on large sections then hit it with this.

Just Amazing

I’m not sure if this kind of tool was available last time I did any drywall work (late 90s). I’d consider myself a capable owner (make my own cabinets and doors, railings, column wraps, etc). I had a wall at a rental that was an absolute mess from the supposed professional contractor that had done repairs, so bad I knew after I patched it I’d better skim it back to health. I was prepared for my first time to be something nearing a disastrous learning experience. I was *shocked* at how quick and easy it was to get this wall looking like new drywall with just a handful of liftoffs to deal with later. No exaggeration it took about 15-20 minutes to thin the compound and skim this wall. I know from the past it would have taken me hours and lots of profanity with wide taping knives. These things are a dream to use. I can only imagine how nice it’d look in a pro’s hands.

A little expensive but incredibly helpful, easy clean-up and came with spare end caps!

I read a few reviews which mentioned end caps arrived broken. I think the manufacturer read those reviews as well because it came with spares! Mine were fine by the way and the tool was nicely packed. I bought the 24" version. It's very easy to use even for a person like me who only does drywall on occasions. The grip position and motion felt very natural. I added compound with another knife and used this to level /smooth everything. It also works well once everything dries as a means of seeing how level a surface is. I was working on a wall which had been wall papered and was not painted so taking the wall paper made a mess of some of the drywall paper (used Zinsser Gardz also excellent). Not only was I dealing with a lot of repaired areas but the people who did the job originally knew they were using wall paper and did a less than stellar job of finishing the wall. There was an obvious seam running across the entire width of the wall at the 4 foot point. Using this tool and with a focus on that part of the wall it looks great! I was shocked that I could make it look as good as it does. One other general tip I figured out and hadn't tried before was I inspected, circled areas with a pencil, marked with "S" for sand, and "F" for fill. A wall with compound on a large area makes it difficult to find imperfections so as you inspect circle them and mark them. I didn't skim coat the entire wall and I primarily used this on the long seam and near the corners or larger areas. I think had I used it even more I would have used less pencil! Great tool!

Excellent

I’ve been a Taper for 12+ years now and I recently started to use these blades. It makes skimming butt joints so much easier. A must have!

Smooth finish

This skimming blade is great. Mix ready mix with water until it just drops off the mixer and then add some dish soap. Let it set 5 minutes or so and then skim it on with a 10" taping knife from your pan and do a quick smooth over with a 24" taping knife. Then do a couple swipes with this skimming blade and the wall is smooth and even. Great finish!

Worth the money

This skimming blade works great!!! I like that you can change the blade if needed .

Nice tool

It works well, and it’s light and easy to use

Level 5 - 24” Skimming blade

This is an excellent skimming blade. Light weight, yet stiff. The contour allows for easy handling to professionally work the top coat. Highly recommend

Took my drywall finishing to another level

I am a DIY'er but I paid to have my drywall hung and shimmed. He didn't do such a great job on the shimming and this tool saved the project for me. The wall I'm working on now is perfect after one use of this tool. It had taken me hours of work (plus the setting time for the joint compound) to achieve similar results using a regular hand tool. Well worth the money.

The perfect tool for drywall seams

I bought this to use on some seam on my ceiling that started showing and it works great. So much better than the small tools I was using before!
