Q: What’s Your Favorite Drywall Tool?
I have been working over the last two weekends to finish the closet underneath the stairs. This project has required what I call — light drywall work, 3 sheets. But as I taped and blocked (2nd coating), I got to thinking about my favorite drywall tool, and I wonder . . . what is yours?
Here are some choices, as pictured:
A: Not the array of drywall knives, instead the bucket (with water in it).
B: The drywall “Dimpler” — for setting drywall screws at the correct depth: that is — embedded without breaking a sheet’s paper face.
C: The sanding sponge — very effective too for wet sanding applications, which minimize dust.
D: Scissors — for pre-cutting drywall tape intended for inside corners.
These are some of my favorite drywall tools (and there are others), but these, in the picture, happened to be near me today.
What is your favorite drywall tool? (I do have a firm opinion on this.) See above, or maybe none of the above, and drop your thoughts in the Comments section below.
Thanks and BMoxie BMore!




I like a Utility Knife, Drywall Knife and Measuring Tape.
