Plastering Tools & Drywall Tools

One of the most important tools in plastering and drywall work is the mud pan. A mud pan is a shallow tray that is used to hold joint compound, also known as “mud,” which is used to fill in the seams and joints between drywall sheets. Mud pans come in various sizes and are made of durable materials such as plastic or metal, making them easy to clean and suitable for extended use.

Another essential tool in plastering and drywall work is the plastering rule. This tool is a long, straight edge that is used to smooth and level wet plaster or joint compound. It can be used to create straight lines, level surfaces, and smooth out rough spots. Plastering rules come in various sizes, and are made of durable materials such as aluminum or stainless steel, which makes them suitable for extended use.

Other tools that are also important in plastering and drywall work include trowels, which are used to spread and smooth out joint compound, and drywall knives, which are used to trim and cut drywall. There are also other specialized tools such as corner tools, which are used to create smooth, clean inside and outside corners, and angle heads which are used to apply the compound at an angle.
